PRINCIPAL'S UPDATE
Hello Eagle Crest Families!
This week, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each of you for supporting the 2024 Bond Measure. Thanks to your overwhelming support, we can soon begin much-needed infrastructure improvements that will enhance the learning environment for all of our students. We are incredibly fortunate to be part of a community that values public education and the important work we do together to shape the future of our children.
To celebrate this momentous achievement, St. Vrain Valley Schools is hosting two special community events, and we would love to see you there! These evenings will feature an innovative drone show performed by our talented student drone team, along with hot cocoa and cookies to keep you warm.
Community Celebration Events:
📅 Tuesday, November 19, 2024, 6:30 p.m. at Frederick High School
📅 Thursday, November 21, 2024, 6:30 p.m. at the Innovation Center

LOST & FOUND
Is your child missing something? Our Lost and Found is overflowing with items once again! Please drop by the Main Office before or after school to claim your belongings, these items will be donated soon. Consider labeling your child's coats, gloves, layers, lunch boxes/containers, and water bottles with their names – it can make a significant difference! While we do try to check items for names, many items remain unclaimed due to the lack of labels.

We had our Picture Retake Day this week and the link is still open to order photos for this school year! Submit these ASAP because the link won't be active for long.
