Recognizing our students’ participation and accomplishments will help our school community create memories that will last a lifetime. The Reflections program intends to grow students’ confidence in their creative vision, and help students value their artistic skills. All artwork must relate to this year’s theme: “Accepting Imperfection”.

After School Programs at Eagle View!EVES Math Club
Our 5th and 6th grade Math Club is modeled after the MathCounts program and aims to teach multiple strategies for out-of-the-box problem solving, develop mathematical flexibility in solving those problems, and foster mathematical creativity and ingenuity. The fall session meets on Mondays 4:15-5:15pm, 10/21/24 - 12/16/24. There are no meetings on student holidays and early release days (10/28 (early release), 11/11 (holiday), and 12/9 (early release)). That is a total of only 6 sessions for the fall, but we will continue the club in the spring*
*Club prices and meeting days may be different in the spring.
