October 2004

Dear Parents,

It’s hard to believe it is October already and we have completed four weeks of school.
During the month of October we have several important events scheduled.

Thursday, October 7 is Eisenhower night at Celebration Station. The students will receive a wrist band at the end of the day on Thursday that will enable them to enter Celebration Station that night free of charge. All rides and games will be free for the students. Everyone is invited to attend!

Tuesday, October 19 we will hold a “Dedication Ceremony” at 2:30 in the gym. We will officially dedicate the new arbor that was built outside by the Global Learning Center. Mark Hammond (former dolphin) spent many hours this last summer building this arbor for our students and he did a great professional job. It will be enjoyed by many dolphins for years to come! We will also officially name the gym the “Gunning Activity Center” at this ceremony. It was decided at the end of last year that the gym should be named after Linda Gunning, PE teacher, who retired from Tulsa Public Schools. The Gunning Activity Center is a great way to honor Linda for all her hard work and dedication to the EIS community.

Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held Tuesday, October 19 from 3:15 until 6:00 P.M. and Wednesday, October 20 from 8:15 until 11:00 A.M. Each teacher will schedule their own conferences. Please look for information to be coming home regarding these conferences. It is our hope that every parent will be able to attend a conference!

Last not but not least, there are several runs coming up in October. The “Hurricane Run” was a huge success and we would like to build upon that. Please mark your calendars for Oct. 9, 16, and 30 and come join us for fun exercise time!

Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to EIS. We appreciate you!
