Eagle Ridge- eThursday Folder

It is a great day to be an Eagle!

Welcome back from spring break! I hope your week was filled with rest, laughter, and memories that will bring smiles for months to come. It’s so wonderful to have our Eagles back together, recharged and ready to soar!

As we gear up for the big CMAS state testing, I am excited to see our students showcase all the knowledge and skills they’ve been building this year. Their growth has been incredible, and I know they’re ready to shine.

Can you believe it? A student reminded me today that we have only 43 school days left in the year! Time really flies, but it’s also the perfect moment to celebrate all the progress and achievements our Eagles have made.

Let’s make these final weeks fun, engaging, and full of success for every student. Together, we’ll finish the year strong
