This Week at Eagle View... Principal's MessageDear Eagle View Families,
As we close out the last day of school for 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on what a special week it has been. Our building has been buzzing with festive energy, from winter-themed activities to the joy of seeing our students embrace the holiday spirit. A highlight of the week was the house pep rally followed by our very first house meeting, which brought us together as a school community in celebration and connection.
I’m also thrilled to take this opportunity to recognize and congratulate our outstanding employees for the 2024-2025 school year. We are incredibly fortunate to have such talented and committed individuals at EVES!
- Outstanding Teacher: Mrs. Carlie Oddo-Bennett
- Outstanding Operational Employee: Mrs. Susan Smith
- Outstanding Leader: Ms. Kaitlin Wilson
- Outstanding Professional Employee: Mr. Tony Mossburg
As we head into a well-deserved two-week winter break, I want to thank you for the love and support you have shown our school. Your partnership makes all the difference in creating an environment where our students can thrive.
We are eager to welcome everyone back in 2025 for a fresh start, including a month filled with spirit days to keep the energy and excitement alive as we kick off the new year together.
Wishing you and your loved ones a warm holiday season filled with joy, peace, and cherished moments. Happy New Year—we’ll see you in January!
Sincerely,
KJ An
Principal
