Thanks Mrs. Foshee's Class, First Adopt-A-Spot Participants

Thanks to Mrs. Foshee's class for being the first group to Adopt-A-Spot for the King EAST Garden located near the fence on the playground. Ms. Ivy, King Parent and Gardener, is assisting students in Mrs. Cagle's class in getting garden activities started for this year. Here are details about the garden linked here: http://eastatking.blogspot.com/2011/05/adopt-garden-spot.html. We are looking for other groups to adopt a bed as well. Also, we are in need of the donation of time (students and adult partners) and materials including:

Outdoor Paint
EAST Team Painting
Partner Painting
EAST Team Flyer/Contract Design
Partner Clean-up
EAST Team Clean-up
EAST Team Maintenance


Please submit your ideas and comments. If you are interested in adopting please leave a comment (Want to Adopt-A-Spot & Name). Type your comments in the comment box and select anonymous (list name). Students should list first name only and teacher under their comments.

Conference Booth

We need your help in making suggestions for the conference booth. Some themes that the leadership team is considering is:

EAST 3D

etc.

Please give us some ideas and review the booths from other Conference years. What do you think we should have as a theme. How should our back display look? How should our table look? What demonstrations or activities should we have in our booth (example: lego robot walk)?

Here are some highlights from previous conferences:
