From the Principal’s Desk...

Dear ESE Family:

Under the Headlines section of our school website, you will find a link to our 2010-11 School Report Card. This is a report required by the Texas Legislature and prepared by the Texas Education Agency. The report provides information concerning student performance as well as information concerning expenditures, average class size, and student/teacher ratios. I am very proud of our staff and students! In addition to earning an Exemplary rating, Eagle Springs was awarded 5 Gold Performance Acknowledgments. These awards acknowledge the high percentage of Eagle Springs students who received Commended Performance in all areas on the 2011 TAKS tests. A more complete report about Eagle Springs, the Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS) report, is available online at: http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/perfreport/aeis/2011/index.html.

Sincerely, Mrs. Maldonado

Choir Pictures will be taken during Rehearsal on

A BIG, EAGLE SHOUT OUT goes to...

Morgan Smith, Karlie Rieniets, and Hailey Roliard, all 5th graders at ESE, and Morgan Marinelli 5th grader at ASE, who ran the Bill's Crew Remission Run on Saturday, January 28, 2012 in honor of Morgan who is a cancer survivor, and in memory of Austin Rieniets (ESE) and Enya Angeles (ASE), who both passed from pediatric cancer. All proceeds from the run benefit the American Cancer So-ciety for cancer research. We are so proud of these girls for donating to such a wonderful cause.

Library News…

The Magazine Fundraiser ended last Friday, and it was a great success! Thank you to everyone who participated. The students really loved collecting the frogs!

The Children's Book Festival was this past Saturday, January 28th, and was so much fun. Over 1,500 parents and students attended! Morgan Grooms, in Mrs. Havnen's 3rd Grade Class, was chosen to ask a question during the Author Panel Discussion, and she did a super job, very brave! Below are some pictures from the event of the Mascots, the Bookfair, and the Raffle. Thanks to everyone who came out to support the festival.
