We hope your holidays were wonderful!

HOLIDAY FAIR 2013
From Dec 3-5, students had the opportunity to shop
for family, friends and pets at the EHES PTO annual
Holiday Fair.
Super-shopper Barb Rogerson, mom of
3rd grader Ella, shopped year-round for this event!
The day before the shop opened, volunteers busily
worked to set up this wonderful event. It looked
spectacular!
During the fair, children were assisted by over 50
volunteers and had a great time shopping!
Special thanks to Denise Gable, Barb Rogerson and
Kelli Little for making this event such a huge
success.
Kelli Little and Bethany Matschulat will be
coordinating this event next December and have
already begun shopping. If you are interested in
getting involved, please contact Kelli Little at

EHES PTO SUPPORTS
OUR TEACHERS
On December 11th, the EHES PTO hosted a
dinner for teachers to support them through
parent-teacher conferences.
PTO volunteers decorated the staff room
with tablecloths and flowers and provided
salad, chicken, pasta, snacks and drinks.
Parents also contributed delicious baked
goods.
The teachers were very appreciative and
some were even brought to tears! They were
extremely grateful for our support and sent
numerous emails of thanks!
Thanks to all who assisted with this event
during the busy holiday season!
