We are so excited to offer Girls On the Run again this year! This is a wonderful opportunity for girls in grades 3-5 to have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels and learn important life skills. The program runs for 10 weeks and will start March 7th. During this time they will work with and learn from our Sargeant coaches while training for a 5K. Practices will be after school on Thursdays and Fridays. Registration opens February 9th. Please reach out to Cathy Gibson, cgibson@rcsdk8.org, with questions about the program or registration. You can also find out more information about the program by visiting GOTRsac.org.
Safety:
Our students participated in a Secure Drill last week. The drill is in place to practice responses to concerning activity around or near campus that may require students and staff to stay in place, but not to the extent of a lockdown. We will continue to practice our safety drills throughout the remainder of the year.

5th Grade Families:
Good afternoon Eich feeder school families. We are incredibly excited to welcome all of you to Eich on Thursday, February 1st at 5:45 pm. We will start our event in the gymnasium (I hope it's packed!!) where I have some opening remarks and then send you off with student leaders who will lead your tours for the evening. During Eich's IB Information Night, we are proud to have over 150 Eich students present to show off all that we are about as well as all of our teachers present to talk about the IB advantage and what makes our school so unique. We plan this event months ahead of time so we are anxious to see all of you. Some of the things you will see are:
1. Woodshop students actually working on projects as you visit the shop area.
2. A drama scene from our last play performed by our drama students.
3. A sample of a French class with our French teacher and an entire class of current French students.
4. A performance from our Advanced Ballroom Dance class.
5. Performances from our Advanced Band students.
6. Students working on a Comm. Tech project as well as a small Art Show from our Art students.
7. Teachers explaining IB grading, IB Design projects, a Day in the Life of an Eich student, academic pathways, and much more.
8. Former Eich students present to talk about the transition to high school and taking advantage of the Eich IB advantage.
9. Leadership students leading all tours.
As you can see, it will be jam-packed with information and performances. Because of how many people we are expecting, we are asking that your students do not attend this evening. We have a special day planned just for kids called STEP UP DAY on March 7th, 2024 where we will invite every student from our feeder schools to see all of these performances. I will also personally visit all feeder schools before Step Up Day and answer questions that any student may have.
Please do your best to make this event. I promise to have you home as early as possible (It's scheduled to end at 8:06 pm). We love our partnership with our parents and this is a great way to start that relationship.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me at dbrown@rcsdk8.org.
