A huge thank you to our school counselor, Ms. Stamper, for her endless support and guidance, and to our SRO, Deputy Fashank, for her dedication to our safety and for being such a positive role model for our students. We appreciate everything you do for our staff and students every single day! 🌟
Merle is wagging his tail extra hard today because it’s Parent/Teacher Conference Day! 🐶✨ He is so excited to see all of our families on campus.
Our students have been working incredibly hard, and our teachers have so much to "brag" about! We can't wait to share all the amazing progress and growth we’ve seen in the classrooms.
📸 Help Us Grow Our School Family Wall!
While you’re here today, we’d love for you to help us make EEI feel even more like home. If you haven't sent in a family picture for our School Family Wall yet, please drop a copy off at the office!

See you soon, Yellowjackets! 🐝💛
💯 100 Days Smarter at East End Intermediate! 💯
Last Friday, our hallways were filled with creativity, counting, and a whole lot of school spirit as we celebrated the 100th Day of School! To mark the occasion, our students showed off their best 100-themed gear, and the competition was tough! Students cast their votes to crown winners in some truly awesome categories: 😂 Funniest, 💪 Heaviest, 🌟 Brightest, 🛒 Best Bought, 🎨 Best Homemade, ✨ Most Creative
We are so proud of how much our students have grown over the last 100 days. Here’s to 80 more days of learning, laughter, and success!

This week, we are celebrating our amazing school counselor, Ms. Stamper! Whether she is helping a student navigate a tough day or supporting our teachers, she is a truly valuable asset to our building.
Ms. Stamper, thank you for all you do for our students and staff. You are one of the many reasons why EEI is such an amazing school!
We are so incredibly proud of all our students who competed in the Grant County Spelling Bee today. Way to represent East End Intermediate!
A massive congratulations goes to Wyatt Ritchie for placing 2nd in the county! 🏆 What an amazing achievement.
We want to take a moment to say a massive THANK YOU to our incredible maintenance crew. They handle everything thrown their way with a smile.
A special shout-out goes to Mr. Steve, EEI’s very own “Pawpaw!” Thank you for not only taking care of our building but for taking such great care of our students and staff. We are so lucky to have you on our team! 🌟
We gathered yesterday at East End Intermediate for our Monthly Morning Meeting to celebrate the incredible students, classes, and staff who have gone above and beyond to model our CKH Word of the Month: Respect. 🤝✨
From kind words in the hallway to supporting classmates in the classroom, these individuals are leading by example and making our school a better place for everyone. We are so proud of your leadership and heart! 💛🐝
📐 In Math: Mrs. Jones's 5th graders put their geometry skills to the ultimate test with "Quadrilateral Clubs!" To gain admission into these exclusive clubs, students had to master the specific attributes of every shape. Way to go, math experts!
📚 In Reading: We love seeing our students support one another! Mrs. Whitehead's 5th grade class teamed up with Mrs. Elledge's 3rd grade class for DEAR time. These new "Reading Buddies" paired up to share stories and practice their reading skills together.
We are so proud of the community and hard work our students show every day!
#LearnBigDreamBigger
Our East End Intermediate 3rd-grade scientists have been hard at work! Students learned about environmental changes impacting plant and animal habitats, then had to make claims for proposed solutions to those problems. Their solutions were originally designed and drawn out in class. 🐾🌱
We want to give a huge shout-out to Gavin, who took his solution to the next level. Gavin didn’t just stop at the drawing—he turned his vision into a full 3D model for an extension project! 🛠️
We are so proud of Gavin for going the extra mile and showing such incredible dedication to his learning. Way to go, Gavin! 👏✨
#LearnBigDreamBigger
Merle is popping in today with a friendly reminder for our families! Interim testing season has officially arrived, and we’ve noticed many of our students are in desperate need of headphones or earbuds.
While they are essential for testing, students also use them frequently in classrooms for specific assignments and learning activities.
🎧 How You Can Help:
Check-In: Please ask your child if their headphones from the start of the year are still working or if they need a new set.
Keep It Simple: They don't have to be fancy with a microphone like Merle’s! Any standard plug-in set will work perfectly.
Let's make sure our East End Intermediate students are plugged in and ready to succeed! Thank you for your continued support. 🐝✨

It’s Merle Monday, and our favorite furry friend is wagging his tail for a special reason! Merle is super excited about East End Intermediate's upcoming "Books & Beyond" Reading Challenge! 📚✨
Did you know that reading to pets like Merle can actually help students become better readers? 🐶📖 Studies show that reading to a non-judgmental animal listener can boost a child's confidence, reduce anxiety, and improve overall reading fluency.
We want to see our students explore new worlds and grow their skills. Important information to know:
The challenge runs from February 1st to March 20th, 2026.
Read and log at least 100 pages to qualify for a reward!
Start picking out your books now and get ready to go above and beyond! Check out our parent newsletter for more information about the Books & Beyond Reading Challenge. Let’s show Merle how many pages we can tackle together. 📖🐾
Our 5th graders at East End Intermediate are turning numbers into real-world solutions! 📊
Students recently took on a big challenge: estimating the number of milk cartons needed for our school and the entire district on both a daily and weekly basis.
The Result?
They compared their estimates to actual district costs.
Every single class came in either under budget or within $200 of the actual total!
We are incredibly proud of the collaboration between our students, teachers, cafeteria manager, and the District Child Nutrition Director. This was a fantastic way for our students to apply their math skills to a real-world career scenario! 👏✨
Big congratulations to all the students, classes, and staff recognized during this morning’s Monthly Morning Meeting! 🥳
These individuals were nominated for doing an incredible job demonstrating our CKH Word of the Month: Responsibility. Students and classes were nominated by our teachers, and our staff members were nominated by our students!
Whether it was staying on top of work, helping others, or taking care of our school, these leaders truly stepped up last month. We are so proud of the great example you set for our school community. Keep it up, Yellowjackets! 🐝✨
🐾 Merle Monday - Ready for a "Paws-itive" Start to the New Year! 🐾
Merle hopes everyone had a restful, wonderful break and is so excited to see all our students and staff back at East End Inteermediate tomorrow.
Did you know? Having a dog in an educational setting can significantly reduce student anxiety and improve overall emotional well-being, making the classroom a more welcoming place to learn!
We can’t wait to see your smiling faces in the morning. Let’s make it a great week!

🐾 Merle Monday: Holiday Reading Challenge!📚
Merle wants to remind all our East End Intermediate students to keep reading over the Christmas break! 📖
While you can’t take them just yet, remember that AR tests can be taken as soon as you return to school. Let's see how many books we can finish!
Did you know? 💡 Studies show that elementary students who read for just 20 minutes a day at home are exposed to nearly 2 million words per year! It’s one of the best ways to keep your brain sharp while having fun.
Enjoy your break and your books! ✨
#MerleMonday
Merle is feeling extra festive today! 🎄 He hopes all our students have a wonderful Christmas break and enjoy every moment spent with family.
We can't wait to see everyone back in the new year! Happy Holidays from all of us (and Merle) at East End Intermediate! 🦴✨

Our 3rd-grade students truly dazzled us last Tuesday as they showed off their musical skills in a wonderful presentation of Celebrations from Around the World!
A huge thank you to Miss Burris for all her hard work and dedication. These opportunities—where students can shine, and families can share in their achievements—are invaluable!
🐾 Merle Monday🐾
Merle, our Educational Assistance Dog in training at East End Intermediate, has been working hard on his impulse control skills. He’s learning how to stay calm and confident in all kinds of environments and situations!
Our students are helping, too! Even though they can’t physically interact with Merle just yet, they’ve been practicing the important rules of “no touch, no talk, no eye contact” to support his training and understand how to help him stay calm.
We’re so proud of Merle and our amazing students for their teamwork and responsibility! 💙✨
