Today we pause to remember and honor those who sacrificed for the United States of America

HR students raised $1191.80 for the Heart 2 Hands Foundation, surpassing last year's total! In celebration of their fundraising, students in the top 5 classrooms that raised the most money and one teacher got to dump slime on Mr. D! Once the slime was poured, students on the 2nd grade council covered him in sparkles.

Just another day at Helendale!



Helendale Road students enjoyed the nice weather today by gardening in the courtyard. #WeAreEI










Today and tomorrow Helendale students are finding enrichment through gardening! So much of learning can be hands-on and play based, including getting a bit dirty and working together with friends! We are lucky to have this chance, and such beautiful gardens!



If you didn't get a chance to check out the District Art Show at Eastridge HS yesterday, you have 2 more opportunities, May 17 and 18 from 2:30-8pm. The displays of student artwork are incredible! #WeAreEI










HR 2nd graders sang all about Jazz today at their concert at Eastridge HS. After the concert, the students checked out the art at the District Art Show. Link to all the photos here: https://eastirondequoit.smugmug.com/Helendale-Road/2022-2023/2nd-Grade-Spring-Concert/ #WeAreEI










Don't forget to vote today! Eastridge High School, 6am to 9pm. #WeAreEI

Our word for the year is “belong!” Part of belonging is celebrating each other. We have some amazing staff here- would you take a moment to nominate one for the outstanding Lancer award??? https://forms.office.com/r/S6BsNW3vHM
When the principal is on recess duty, you get a few extra minutes to enjoy the beautiful weather! ☀️🕶️. Do you remember playing "bubble gum, bubble gum in a dish?" Our first graders are still playing it!



Today is Day #11 with our kindergarten chick eggs! We candled our eggs to peek inside and see what may be growing! Many of our eggs have embryos inside so we’re hoping for a good hatch next week!


Our second grade leadership team discussing some important plans for the future! Todays chat about leadership was about focusing on the positive things that happen and not just loud negative voices!



It's official! Class of 2036 has signed on to be Lancers! Signing bonuses included crayons and an alphabet coloring book! We can't wait to have our new friends as kindergartners next year!!

Kindergarteners at HR visited Guida's today to make their own pizzas and learn about the restaurant. A perfect way to wrap up their "How To" unit! Special thanks to Mark Guida who donates his time to do this for our students and has for many years. #WeAreEI
