Greetings Eisenhower Families, Tonight is our annual Allied Arts Night. Our students have worked so hard preparing for their performances and creating beautiful art projects for you to view. This is a wonderful evening that showcases the talents of our students. Starting this week and continuing into the month of April, we will begin MCA testing for our students in grades 3, 4, and 5. Please help to make sure your child gets enough rest the night before the test and has a good breakfast that morning. Your child’s teacher will notify you of specific testing dates. We also invite all of you to participate in the Bill Gallagher 5K run/walk happening on Saturday April 11th. We receive money for our media center proportional to the amount of participants from our school. As we approach the end of the school year, I wanted you to know how much I enjoy working with the students at Eisenhower and their families. Warm Regards, Kari Rock Principal, Eisenhower Elementary School WHERE RESPONSIBILITY ACHIEVES SUCCESS. Shining Stars
