Memorial Day

As you enjoy time off with your family this weekend, take time to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of this great country. 

I'm looking forward to a busy week as we prepare to send our students into the summer break.

Band Award Winners for 2011 - 2012

I recently attended the annual Eubanks Intermediate and Dawson Middle Schools Spring Band Concert and, wow, what a performance!  the progress our students make in only one year is truly phenomenal.  I was actually walking toward the auditorium when our band began playing.  As I couldn't see the band I was disappointed in myself as I thought the middle school band had started and that I had missed ours.  Lo and behold, the band I heard was our own award-winning Eubanks Band!

Congratulations to our band students, Mr. Guerrero, Mr. Stone, and Ms. Bailey for a great performance.  In addition, kudos to our parents for their support of this program.

Progress on the Eubanks addition continues.

5th Grade Orientation

We welcomed 4th grade students from Carroll Elementary, Old Union Elementary, and Rockenbaugh Elementary to our school on Tuesday, May 8 for our annual 5th grade orientation.  It's that time of year when we prepare to send our 6th graders on to middle school as we welcome our incoming '5th graders.'  We are also prepared to see our current 5th grade students assert their leadership next year.

Our Eubanks Student Council recently received notice from the National Association of Elementary School Principals Foundation that they have, for the second consecutive year, been named a National Honor Council.  I appreciate the work our StuCo has done on behalf of our students and school, especially their community service projects.  Please congratulate these student leaders as well as their sponsors, Mrs. Katie Bonnette and Mrs. Lisa Gilbert.
