Principal’s Points:
December’s fruit of the spirit is “kindness”. We hope to catch people at EAS in the act of being kind. That’s the new “cool” thing to do according to a t-shirt I saw so have a “Cool Yule” and throw kindness around like confetti!
This Sabbath is our ministry Sabbath at Spartanburg SDA Church. Come join us for the service and potluck afterwards. EAS families in worship and fellowship together–what a great combo!

THANKSGIVING PROJECT
As a school, we have the opportunity to GIVE at this season of Thanksgiving. We have been approached by a care home to visit them and share some cheer over the holidays. Toiletries such as toothpaste, brushes, lotion, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, and such personal items for the residents are requested. In the school office you can place these items if you would like to contribute. Teach your child to be a giver by helping please!
INCLEMENT WEATHER
We never know when the snow or ice will begin. Here are the guidelines for EAS regarding school closures due to inclement weather:
Watch WSPA channel 7 for potential school closings. EAS does not automatically follow Spartanburg County. There are times the county closes for reasons that do not apply to us. However, the safety of our students and families are always of utmost concern. If it is unsafe to be on the roads where you live, please remain at home where it is safe.
**If you need the services of the daycare, please also watch WSPA channel 7 for their daycare closings. The daycare may not necessarily coincide with our hours during inclement weather.
SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
Please mark your calendar for Thursday, December 12. Children from Mrs. Becky’s room will unite with the Eddlemon students in grades K-8 to present a Christmas program for you that evening. They have been working hard, and you won’t want to miss it. See you there!
Plan to join us Thursday, December 12 after the Christmas program for a Christmas routine by our gymnastics team as well as a time of fellowship in the gym. Please bring a finger food or dessert to share and enjoy some social time with other EAS family and friends!
DECEMBER SPIRIT DAY
Spirit Day is December 13. Get in the holiday spirit by coming to school wearing your red and green Christmas clothes. Those who choose not to participate will wear the usual EAS uniform.
