Eaton PTA

Everyone is invited to celebrate Earth Day on Monday, April 22nd by helping clean-up the Eaton Elementary grounds.  This is a great time to spend with your children, while also beautifying our school.  Kids really feel proud of themselves when they give back and can look at their school and say WOW, I helped do that!  So come on out on Monday and bring your gardening tools to beautify our school and teach our kids that Earth Day is Everyday and we can make a difference.  Meet under the breezeway on Monday to get down and dirty and clean up OUR SCHOOL!

Thanks for your support!

Eaton’s student interns from UNCW will be traveling to San Pedro, Belize at the end of March to finish their student teaching in local schools there.  They are in need of school supplies to take with them for the children in San Pedro, as the schools they will be working in have very limited resources.  Please click here for details on what’s needed – all donations will help tremendously!

* Donations are needed by March 15 – there is a donation box located in the front office.

Eaton is participating with the New Hanover PTA Council in teaming up with Cape Fear Soccer Club’s Pass-Along Cleat Wellness Project “Give From Your Heart” to collect used soccer cleats so area kids can be active in soccer this spring or as part of an after school outreach program.

This collection will run until the end of February.  A donations box is located outside the main office by the bulletin board.

Please donate your used soccer cleats to this worthy cause!  Thank you!

Here are a few tips to help prevent the spread of head lice within the classroom:

1. Remind children not to share combs, brushes, hair accessories, headphones, hats, clothing, bedding, coats and so forth.

2. Space desks and chairs apart so that children are not sitting shoulder-to-shoulder.

3. Coats and hats should not touch each other. If hooks are too close together, or individual cubbies are unavailable, individual laundry bags with drawstrings can be used to store coats and hats.

4. Space children apart when standing or walking in lines.

5. Minimize close contact games and sports, such as wrestling.

6. Minimize use of shared headgear (such as earphones, helmets, etc.) and clothing (such as hats and costumes in drama classes).

Additionally, lots of helpful information on head lice can be found on Nurse Candace’s webpage – click here to visit her page.
