In today’s K-8 assembly, students shared ways to set and achieve goals. We also watched a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UjX6OKWF2c ) about Samantha Garvey. Samantha shared her thoughts on achieving goals and overcoming obstacles relating to a science competition. During the remainder of this quarter, we will be discussing the “S” (set goals and do something everyday to achieve them) in B.E.S.T.

January 25, 2012 - by Dawn Fix
Today students from Eaton Academy left for New York, led by Ms. Eaton-Partalis and Mr. Uitvlugt. The group will see a Broadway show, visit at least one museum, and see Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Additional sightseeing will take place on a bus. The trip will be updated on the blog with photos and quotes from the group.
From Ms. Eaton-Partalis: “Great flight! Clear as a bell. Flew over Ellis Island, Statue of Liberty, and Citifield into LGA. As one student put it, ‘Wow, what a pretty awesome view!’ Off to Central Park, dinner, Broadway, and Times Square.”
