East Fallowfield is participating in the Phanatic About Reading initiative sponsored by Xfinity and the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phanatic About Reading program presented by Xfinity is a free, incentive-based program that encourages students in grades Pre-K through 8 to read or be read to for a minimum of 15 minutes a day to improve their literacy skills.

Each classroom received a classroom book, poster, a bookmark for each student and the reading logs that will be coming home today. This is a fun way to track your child's reading at home and an awesome way to make time to read with your child. Let's go Phillies!

East Fallowfield held our Fall Into Reading Event last Wednesday, and it was a wonderful time! Thank you to all of our families who came out for a night of fun and literacy! Pictures and videos of the event can be found on our PTO Facebook page. Be sure to check them out!

East Fallowfield was buzzing with fun and excitement last week with our Red Ribbon Spirit Week. Students showed their school pride by wearing red and black on Monday, wore Tie-Dye and rainbow colors on Tuesday, dressed for success on Wednesday, wore pajamas on Thursday and wore costumes on Friday for our Halloween Fashion Show through the halls! Pictures and videos of the event can be found on our PTO Facebook page. Be sure to check them out!

Please find our November lunch menu below in PDF form.

Greetings, East Fallowfield Parents!

My name is Mrs. Joann Billman, I am the STEM teacher and will be the Science Fair Coordinator for East Fallowfield. I am here with a special announcement! The 2022-2023 Science Fair is getting ready to begin! It is exciting to watch our students learn and grow as they present a project of their own design!

All students (K-5th grades) are invited to complete an independent/at-home science fair project to be entered in the EF Elementary Science Fair. Students can work by themselves or in a team of up to three students from the same grade level. Each student or group will complete a tri-fold poster showing their project.

For students who are not ready to complete a full science fair investigation, we are offering a new Learning Fair! Here you can research anything science related and make a board on your findings. Please note, these will not be judged, but on display the night of the EF Science Fair!

The first step is simple. We are asking that you have your child accept the invitation to our Canvas page. From there they will fill out an interest form (find the East Fallowfield button), with an idea of what project they would like to investigate. The deadline for applications is November 4th. East Fallowfield Science fair will take place on January 19th, 2023. Both the Science Fair and Learning Fair participants need to fill in the interest form. From there I will give you your next steps!

This year at East Fallowfield we are revamping our PBIS program and focusing on our Big East Expectations of Safety, Ownership, Acceptance and Respect. Last week, students had the opportunity to learn what these expectations look like, sound like, and feel like in different areas around the school including the classroom, cafeteria, playground, bus, hallway, and bathrooms.

Students are so excited to be rewarded for meeting these expectations with Class Dojo points. Parents please be sure to accept the Class Dojo invite from your child's teacher so you can track the great work they are doing in class.

Our teachers do incredible work and the Adopt-A-Coatesville Teacher program is a fabulous way to recognize our amazing staff! You can adopt a teacher by visiting the website here: ADOPT A COATESVILLE TEACHER. Once on the site, click the red apple icon that says, "SIGN UP."
