As weather gets colder, please be sure to send your child with the necessary cold-weather gear to play outside. Temperatures and wind are often harsh on our prairie.
Wednesday, October 19 is Unity Day - a day dedicated to uniting for kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Be a part of this expression of solidarity across Unit Seven by wearing orange and showing kindness to everyone around you. District activities are planned for after school at the main campus - see the school website for more information.

If you are dressing up for Halloween this year, parents can take a picture of students wearing their costumes and send it to eastphotos@unitsevenschools.com with a subject line containing the student’s name. Students will not wear costumes at school or at our fall parties, but we will be sharing a picture slideshow on the big TV in the hallway. Please send pictures no later than 3:00pm on Tuesday, November 1st to be included.

East has received several generous donations we want to recognize. A special thank you to the Sidney Improvement Group for a $2,500 donation to our Rocket Pack Program; Sidney United Church Women’s Fellowship for a donation toward school supplies; Sidney Christian Church for a school supply drive, and an anonymous family who donated toward lunch account balances of our students. We are truly grateful for the support of our community!
