School Information
Race Day Tuesday, May 13
We will be having our annual Alpine Eagles race day on Tuesday, May 13. This is a fun day where we have all students, grades 1-6 participate in a couple short running races. The 1st and 2nd grades run a short 40 yard dash and the 3rd-6th grades all participate in a short race as well as a longer race (once around the back field). Boys run with boys and girls run with girls. Please make sure your students are wearing appropriate shoes so they can participate in this activity.
Rising Eagle Student Group for 2025-2026 (for upcoming 5th and 6th graders)
To be more in alignment with our purpose, we are changing our name next year from Rising Eagles to “Kindness Crew.” Also, this year we will use applications to select our students for the Kindness Crew instead of nominations as in previous years. The applications will be available to our current 4th and 5th grade students. This is to ensure that all students who have a desire to participate in our kindness efforts have an opportunity to apply and be considered. Please note, students cannot be on both Kindness Crew and Student Council.
Meetings next year will be held in the morning from 8:45-9:15 before school. The actual day of the week will be determined by the start of the school year. More information about Kindness Crew next year is on the application info sheet. Applications for Kindness Crew are available in the office starting Monday, May 5. They will be due the following Monday, May 12. Please reach out to Mrs. Fisher or Mrs. Hartsell with any questions.
