Upcoming Week 12/16-12/20

This is it... the last week before Winter Break. I swear this has been the fastest beginning of school EVER. This week is Spirit Week at Eastgate. See below for each day's theme, and feel free to have fun participating as big or as small as you'd like. :) We do have some academic things to get through this week (mid-year STAR reading and math testing), but we also have some fun things planned as well.

• Monday - Wish for Snow (over break only!!) Day - wear your warm snow clothes that might include, scarves, mittens, hats... get creative!
• Tuesday - Eastgate Spirit Day - wear your Eastgate shirt or Eastgate blue if you don't have any gear
