December 2005

Dear Parents,

While December is always one of the busiest times for families, EIS is going to try to do the opposite by planning limited activities.

On December 15th, Eisenhower will hold its first “International Fair”. Each class has picked a country to study and will present what they have learned on a table in the gym on the 15th. Our vision is something similar to a science fair. Each class has a special time allotted to them to tour the “Fair”. ETC students are even conducting some of the tours! Parents are welcome to come anytime during the day of the 15th to tour the fair and learn about the countries with our students!

Three Eisenhower teachers have been working for over a year to obtain National Board Certification. We found out right before Thanksgiving that all THREE have obtained their goal and passed their National Boards. Please join us in celebrating Leonardo DeAndrade, Barbara McCrary, and Robin Martinet’s accomplishment! Congratulations to all three!

The Eisenhower staff has selected their “Employees of the Year”. Congratulations to Robin Martinet, Teacher of the Year and to Naty Mari, Support Employee of the Year. Two well deserved recognitions!

Due to winter break, we will not be in school from December 22- Jan. 2nd. We, the staff at EIS, would like to wish each of you and your families “Happy Holidays”. We hope you enjoy your time together and have a very “Happy New Year”. See you on January 3, 2006!

Stacy Strow, Principal
