Last week East Fallowfield celebrated Veteran's Day. In Miss Kriston's kindergarten class, students wrote letters to veterans and colored a Veteran day picture. Students shared how much they appreciate the sacrifice of veterans. The letters and pictures will be sent out before December 1st, so they will receive the letters for the holidays. Students also made Veteran Day Crowns to celebrate all the branches of the military.

In first grade, Mrs. Norton brought in different military uniforms to share with the entire first grade. Students were able to try them on and take pictures. The classes also watched a short video about why we observe Veteran's Day. Our first grade students also wrote thank you cards to our local veterans.

Our students and families had a great time at the Connecting Coatesville Event last Thursday night. Students enjoyed bouncy houses, raffle baskets, face painting, free pizza and more! Thank you to our Pupil Services Department and our Coatesville Athletics & Activities for providing our families with a night of fun!

We received our Lifetouch school picture packages 2 weeks ago. Although individual student photos turned out great, I wanted to let you know that I was unsatisfied with the quality of our whole class pictures. The lighting in some of the class photos seemed too dark. I have been in contact with Lifetouch about this matter and we are in the process of figuring out a solution. If they are able to fix the issue digitally they will do so and resend updated class photos. If they can not, we will reschedule whole class photos in the spring. Thank you for your understanding and patience in this matter.

Our Highland Orchards pick-up date will be November, 21st from 4:00-5:00 pm after school, behind the building.

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."
