Media Arts Media Arts

Media Arts students were challenged to use the professional design software Adobe Illustrator to create posters for each school team. Adobe Illustrator is a vector design program whereby students draw with shapes and designs can be infinitely resized without pixelation. Some students created designs for multiple teams! The art of all entrants is currently on display in the lobby of the school. A winning poster was selected for each team, and it will be hung in the auditorium to mark the morning meeting location of that team for years to come.

Partnering With Our School

Dear Parents and Guardians,


In December, we introduced our Character Counts theme and began important conversations with our students about teamwork. To encapsulate the idea of working together, we shared a NASCAR pit crews video with both our faculty and students. NASCAR VIDEO


The goal of this video was to emphasize teamwork and illustrate how each member of the pit crew is vital to the overall success of the driver. This teamwork exemplifies the idea that Every Person Impacts Culture.


As Felicia Rashad once said, "The measure of excellence is judged by your commitment to your work." At Eastview, we are dedicated to creating experiences that help students understand what community looks and feels like.


So far this year, our students have engaged in many activities that reinforce the principle of using teamwork to build community:


  • Veterans Day Assembly: A collaborative effort to honor those who served.
  • Winter Concerts: Featuring performances from the band, orchestra, and chorus, showcasing teamwork in music.
  • Friendsgiving Luncheon: Students selected a lunch menu together, promoting collaboration in planning and sharing.
  • First Quarter Honor Roll Assembly: Celebrating academic achievements as a community.
  • First Quarter After Party: The Student Organization planned activities and games for all students, fostering a fun and inclusive environment.
  • Tiger Times Newspapers: The first and second editions created collaboratively by students.
  • International Night: A joint effort between students and teachers to celebrate cultural diversity.
  • World Kindness Day: Activities that encouraged kindness and cooperation among students.
  • Student Choir Performance: Our student choir had the honor of performing at Calvary Baptist Church prior to the week of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration, displaying their talents and commitment to the community.
  • Inaugural Food Pantry: Students are working with faculty and staff to create and set up Eastview Middle School’s first-ever food pantry, which will open soon to support our community.
  • Teamwork Circles Activity- Students were able to reflect on the essence of collaboration and the power of a shared understanding.


These activities, along with those shared in the newsletter, exemplify our commitment to the belief that doing the simple things right fosters a culture of community, which is a cornerstone of our initiatives.


At Eastview, we embrace the concept of #EPIC. We believe that creating team-building experiences helps our students become collaborative team members who are future-ready, instilling the understanding that when the team wins, the community wins!!!


Thank you for your continued support in fostering a positive and collaborative environment for our students. Together, we can help them thrive.


Sincerely,

Leroy Dixon

Parents/Guardians-

As we progress through the school year, we encourage parents and guardians to take a moment to check in with their child about their binder organization and ensure they have all the necessary school supplies. Staying organized and having the right tools can make a big difference in a student’s confidence and success. Restocking items like pens, pencils, and dividers can help them stay prepared and focused on their learning. Thank you for your support in helping your child stay on track!
