🍂Pre-K students attended the Choctafaula Pumpkin Patch recently and had an amazing time getting to pet the animals, pick a pumpkin, play in the corn, jump on the inflatables, and watch an animal show. We would like to express our gratitude to Josh Cleveland with Set It Off Concrete Coatings for our matching tshirts, City Councilwoman Emily Milford and Stanley Powell for sponsoring our admission and bus fees. 🎃

We were honored to welcome mental health professionals and resources from Mind Flex Healing, Revision Counseling Center, Achieve Wellness Counseling, Searchlight Counseling, Chambers County Department of Human Resources, Circle of Care, CCSD Mental Health Coordinator, Auburn Psychological Wellness Center, and Auburn Therapy Associates.

It was a beautiful event where families had the chance to connect with local mental health resources and support.

Eastside Elementary School celebrated National Bullying Prevention Month with an amazing art exhibition! 🎨💙 Students, led by Mr. Rob (school counselor) and Ms. Sharma (STEAM teacher), created powerful artwork about empathy, kindness, and what it feels like to be included or left out.

Our “Empathy Heart” project was a big hit—students shared how bullying makes others feel, writing their thoughts on colorful notes and forming a giant heart on the wall. We also welcomed Dr. Wendy Troop-Gordon from Auburn University, who inspired everyone with her talk about building empathy and supporting each other.

Thank you to all our students, staff, and families for helping us create a caring and welcoming school community! #BullyingPreventionMonth #Empathy #EastsideProud
