The Principal's Student Advisory Team at East End Middle School has been created to provide the administration with feedback for continual school improvement from the student perspective. Student Voice is an integral piece of school culture at EEM. We are thankful to these students for their commitment to the school.

Remember, there is a theme every day this week. We are looking forward to seeing everyone in superhero attire tomorrow!

El 14 de octubre, a las 6:00 pm, EEM organizará una Noche familiar para todas las familias donde el español es el idioma principal en el hogar. A menudo, una barrera del idioma impide que algunos padres se sientan como si no fueran una parte importante de la familia escolar. Queremos que todos los padres sepan que cada familia es una parte tan importante de nuestra familia escolar. Serviremos la cena a las 6:00 y luego hablaremos sobre estrategias para apoyar mejor a nuestros padres y estudiantes de habla hispana. Se proporcionarán servicios de interpretación. Envíe la parte inferior del volante adjunto a la escuela con los nombres de los miembros de la familia que asisten. Esto nos ayudará a prepararnos para este emocionante evento. También enviaremos una copia a casa con su hijo. Devuelva el formulario antes del 4 de octubre. Háganos saber si tiene alguna pregunta.

EEM - The Supreme Court held a mock trial at EEM! Students observed as justices, provided testimony, and argued their own opinions on a fictional case focusing on civil liberties as designated in the US Constitution! They said being on the Supreme Court is hard work!!
Last week S'Mores learners competed to build the tallest tower that could hold the most weight with only 50 index cards and a meter of masking tape. The tallest tower (constructed by Rogue Brangan, Emily Young, and Rebecca Solano) came in at 31 cm holding 1,100 g. The strongest tower (constructed by Bretallica Leach [not pictured], Cooper Barnes, and Noah Atwood) came in at 23 cm holding 10,828.6 g. Way to go!
EEM - Is that Mrs. Lewis or Uncle Sam? Yesterday, students had fun learning from Uncle Sam as a part of Independence Week at EEM Smore's Learning Camp!
EEM - S'Mores learners applied their knowledge of ecosystems and economics to fish in the "commons" competing against other groups to "catch" the most fish. They then calculated their credits, debits, and overall balance for each year, then graphed their data. The goal was to earn the most money without wiping out their fish populations. Congratulations to our winners: Emily Young (left), Rebecca Solano (middle), and Rogue Brangan (right)!
Learning and having fun at S'more Learning Camp at EEM!
