Thank you for helping keep our schools healthy!

We want to send a massive THANK YOU to the Mayor of Five Points, Melinda Turner, for her incredible generosity! ❤️
Mayor Turner stopped by to deliver a special gift to our teachers at Eastside Elementary School. Thanks to her, our classrooms are stocked up with essential supplies to help keep everyone healthy and prepared, including:
🧼 Lysol
🧻 Tissue
✨ Sanitizer Wipes
Thank you, Mayor Turner, for supporting our educators and caring about our students' health. We appreciate you! 🍎



Parents it’s not too late to complete those treasure maps and earn prizes for your child! Not only will you earn prizes for your child( ren), but you will also help us earn freeeeeeeeee books for all students!


🧼 Hand Hygiene: Remind kids to wash hands frequently, especially after eating, playing, or using the restroom.
🤧 Stay Home When Sick: If your child has symptoms like fever, cough, or fatigue, please keep them home to prevent spreading illness.
💪 Boost Immune Health: Ensure your kids get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and stay active to strengthen their immune systems.
Let’s work together to keep our school community safe and healthy this season! ❤️

With illness spreading quickly this season, it's very important that we're able to reach a parent or guardian at all times, especially if your child becomes sick during the school day.
Thank you for helping us keep your children safe and well cared for.
