Three more days left to send in donations for families affected by childhood cancer! Please send in non-perishable, individually wrapped snack items before Friday. The Aviators are currently in the lead for the popcorn party, but hope all of our students want to be community contributors and donate what they can, regardless of reward!
Tomorrow's spirit dress is "Put a Lid on Cancer!" If students wear a hat, they can dress down for free, but we ask that they try to bring in at least one item to donate if possible! Thank you for your continued support of our community, Eastside! 🎩 🧢 👒

Dear 8th Grade Parents and Guardians,
It’s time to submit 8th Grade Baby Pictures for the yearbook! Baby pictures will be collected a little differently this year, so please read the information below carefully.
Baby pictures must be submitted by the deadline. Late submissions cannot be accepted. This year, yearbook pages will be submitted to the publisher throughout the year rather than all at once. The 8th Grade Baby Picture pages will be completed and sent to the publisher by the end of September. Once those pages are submitted, we will not be able to add additional pictures.
Please note: Screenshots cannot be accepted. Jostens’ yearbook software does not support screenshot image files, which means they will not print. To ensure your student’s picture can be included in the yearbook, please upload the original photo file or take a picture of the actual photograph.
Please use the Google Form below to submit your student’s baby picture:
https://forms.gle/FKoL1sCvsPXV6SkE6
Families with more than one 8th grade student: Use each student’s school email address.
Please make sure your student’s picture is submitted on time so they can be included in this special 8th grade yearbook tradition!
Thank you!
