Eagle Press
Eisenhower Elementary
Mrs. Arnold and Mrs. Taylor’s classes have been busy exploring “The Heart!”, our Module 1 theme from the Wit and Wisdom language arts curriculum. Students are discovering what the heart means both literally and figuratively while settling into our new learning routines. One classroom favorite has quickly become “Mannequin!” Be sure to ask your student what it means to be a mannequin in our classroom. Their answer is sure to make you smile!
Eisenhower 1st graders are buidling a strong creative foundation by exploring the elements of art, learning about color theory, and reviewing proper artistic techniques. Students are learning to identify and manipulate the elements of art focusing on line, shapes, and colors to incorporate into their artwork. 1st graders are currently working on creating a unique robot focusing on these 3 art elements. Students have also explored the color wheel, focusing on warm and cool colors to create a sunset. The 1st graders are reviewing the proper techniques of coloring, painting, and caring for the materials in the art room. By blending these foundational concepts with practical skills, our 1st graders are developing both vocabulary and the fine motor skills needed to create beautiful artwork!

The district does not allow the delivery of food and beverages from outside vendors or fast food establishments for a student’s breakfast or lunch meal. All meals are to be provided by either our Food Service program or prepared at home and sent with your student.
Outside food delivery is a safety concern. We do not want to have strangers and people that we do not know coming to our buildings with delivery bags. It also is a workload issue for office personnel. Managing multiple food deliveries during lunchtime becomes an additional responsibility for our office staff.
The District works hard to provide a variety of healthy, good-tasting food in its cafeterias, and students are always free to bring their own lunch to school. We will continue to follow our past practice of making sure students receive lunch if they forget to bring one from home.
Eisenhower's Book Fair is coming October 26-30th. If you are interested you can preorder Diary of Wimpy Kid or Dog Man books.
Mrs. Holtyn will be sharing detail on the book fair with classes soon. Here is the flyer. Students have the option of setting up an ewallet or paying cash.
First Grade Celebrates Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week: October 23–31
2026 Theme: “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.™”
Red Ribbon Week is a time for schools and families to encourage healthy, positive choices. At Eisenhower, our celebration will begin Monday, September 28 and continue throughout October, leading up to a week of activities from October 26–30.
Wear Red Mondays: Students are encouraged to wear red on September 28 and October 5, 12, 19, and 26. We’ll also share Red Ribbon announcements on those days.
Learning and activities: In HEART classes, students will discuss healthy habits and positive choices and make a pledge to live drug free. Students in grades 1–6 will complete the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs unit during October. All students and staff will receive red awareness bracelets to wear during Red Ribbon Week. Each school day from October 26–30, five students wearing their bracelets will be randomly selected to win a prize—25 winners in all!
Spirit days, October 26–30. -SEE BELOW...
Poster contest: Students in grades 4–6 may choose to create a Red Ribbon poster. HEART teachers will collect entries, and winning posters from each grade will be displayed in the district during November.
Thank you for helping our students make healthy choices and celebrate Red Ribbon Week!
Free Breakfast & Lunch for All Students!
Michigan is continuing its commitment to providing free breakfast and lunch to all students during the 2026–27 school year!
While meals are free for all students, we still encourage every family to complete the Education Benefits Form: https://fraser.familyportal.cloud/. Completing the form helps Fraser receive additional funding and resources that support all students and schools.
Meal reminder: A required component of a complete breakfast and lunch is ½ cup of fruit or vegetables, which must be taken with the meal for it to be free of charge.
Find menus, meal information, and more details about what qualifies as a free meal on our website, https://www.fraser.k12.mi.us/programs/food-service.
The bell to start the school day rings at 8:30 a.m. We have had a problem with many students arriving late to school. This not only affects the student who is tardy, but also has an impact on the rest of the classroom. Many important events take place at the beginning of the school day. When a student arrives late, they are missing out on important classroom assignments as well as important announcements. They also interrupt the learning environment for the rest of the students. Please make every effort to assure your student starts the day off in positive way by getting them to school on time.
We have also have an increasing number of students leaving early daily. We dismiss at 3:30 PM unless otherwise noted. Students withdrawn early also miss on daily instruction and interventions. They also disrupt the learning environment. Please make every effort to schedule appointments outside the school day. We want to make sure all of our students are learning. Once we reach 3:15 we may not be able to dismiss your student early. With the many moving parts at the end of the school day, it is not always possible to redirect a student to the office at that time.
Calling in your child sick, an appointment or vacation? Please call the attendance line at any time of day at 586-439-6690. Utilizing the attendance line will assist our office staff with making sure attendance records are accurate.
If your child is tardy, it is district policy that when you drop them off you need to come and sign them in. Thank you for your support!
Parents, join us virtually on October 27 at 5:30 p.m.!
