East End Intermediate had our last Monthly Morning Meeting on Monday morning. We recognized students, classes, and staff for following the Yellowjacket Way and for demonstrating the CKH Word of the Month - perseverance. In addition, we also had 67 students with perfect attendance (3rd: 25, 4th: 19, & 5th: 23).
As we finish our last month of school, our CKH focus will be integrity.
Last Friday, 5th graders were wished well on their future academic journey to middle school as we began a new tradition for EEI, our rock ceremony. Students decorated their rocks previously in art class, then planted them in our flower bed to leave a little piece behind as they gear up to transition to middle school. After the ceremony, students loaded buses and traveled to EEM to take a tour of the building and learn about all the opportunities that middle school provides.
EEM will also be hosting a Parent Night for incoming 6th graders on Thursday, May 6th from 6:00-7:00 p.m. We hope families can attend and enjoy the opportunity to meet the administration, faculty and staff at EEM.
East End Intermediate's 5th-grade students took a field trip last week to Pinnacle Mountain. This year in science class, students have been learning about ecosystems. They were able to apply and extend their knowledge during the trip.

East End Intermediate geared up for testing last week with a pep rally! We reviewed the importance of the test, the criteria for earning raffle tickets for prizes, and a few test-taking strategies. Concluding the pep rally, teachers dressed up in inflatable costumes and raced. Congratulations to our track star, Ms. Mosqueda!
Friday after school, teachers and staff decorated the hall with all the affirmations sent in by families. On Monday morning, students walked the halls reading all the positive messages to pep them up before testing.
