A LETTER FROM OUR PRINCIPAL<br />
Karen Wacker,<br />
Principal<br />
Hi <strong>Eastvalley</strong> Family,<br />
The school year draws <strong>to</strong> a close which is an exciting<br />
time for all staff. It is wonderful <strong>to</strong> see <strong>the</strong> growth<br />
that all children have made over <strong>the</strong> course <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
school year and it is exciting <strong>to</strong> watch <strong>the</strong>m grow up<br />
before our eyes. As a staff, we will use <strong>the</strong> days <strong>of</strong><br />
summer <strong>to</strong> study curriculum, plan for next year, and<br />
yes, take some time <strong>to</strong> relax and reenergize.<br />
We congratulate <strong>the</strong> following staff members who<br />
will be retiring at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> year: Mrs. Tamara<br />
Hathcoat, Mrs. Kathryn Liddicoet and Mrs. Dianne<br />
Maslak (ASP Direc<strong>to</strong>r). Congratulations <strong>to</strong> all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se<br />
ladies and we hope <strong>the</strong>y have many fun days ahead<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>m in retirement. Thank you for your service <strong>to</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> students and families <strong>of</strong> <strong>Eastvalley</strong>.<br />
Thank you for your continued<br />
support <strong>of</strong> your children and<br />
<strong>the</strong> teachers at <strong>Eastvalley</strong>.<br />
Please read my blog each<br />
week for upcoming events<br />
and o<strong>the</strong>r communications.<br />
You can access it at www.<br />
eastvalleyelementary.com. You<br />
can also email me at any time<br />
<strong>to</strong> discuss <strong>issue</strong>s, concerns,<br />
questions and ideas. My email<br />
is karen.wacker@cobbk12.org.<br />
Our summer <strong>of</strong>fice hours are Monday-Thursday from<br />

Ms. Wacker<br />
A LETTER FROM THE PTA<br />
And so ano<strong>the</strong>r school year is coming <strong>to</strong> an end.<br />
Wasn’t it just January??? I’m not sure where this year<br />
has gone.<br />
This year ends my two-year term as PTA co-president.<br />
These two years have been both challenging and<br />
fulfilling.<br />
The PTA is a much-needed and quietly busy entity.<br />
We are all volunteers that dedicate countless hours<br />
<strong>to</strong> organizing, budgeting and meeting <strong>to</strong> find ways<br />
<strong>to</strong> make our school a better place for our children <strong>to</strong><br />
learn.<br />
I would encourage you <strong>to</strong> buy a membership and get<br />
involved next year. It’s not scary and doesn’t have<br />
<strong>to</strong> take up vast amounts <strong>of</strong> time. A few hours spent<br />
helping with International night, Books for Breakfast<br />
or any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> many programs that <strong>the</strong> PTA sponsors<br />
can make all <strong>the</strong> difference. Be a part <strong>of</strong> a great<br />
organization!!<br />
As we all head our separate ways for summer<br />
vacations, let’s remember <strong>to</strong> appreciate one ano<strong>the</strong>r<br />
and <strong>to</strong> enjoy <strong>the</strong> time we are afforded with our<br />
children. Throwing a ball, playing with <strong>the</strong> water<br />
hose or eating a whole bowl <strong>of</strong> fat-filled and sprinklecovered<br />
ice cream are <strong>the</strong> memories our children carry<br />
with <strong>the</strong>m for always.<br />
Have fun, play hard and see you next year!! Remember<br />
<strong>to</strong> continue <strong>to</strong> save your box <strong>to</strong>ps!!<br />
Melissa Chalker<br />

The SPLOST Vote<br />
On March 19, <strong>2013</strong>, Cobb county voters approved <strong>the</strong> Splost IV<br />
referendum which will extend <strong>the</strong> collection <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1% sales tax for<br />
school projects which is currently in effect through 2018. The SPLOST<br />
is projected <strong>to</strong> collect $717,844,707 over <strong>the</strong> next five years.<br />
The Special Local Option Sales Tax provides money <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> school<br />
system for school-related capital improvements that are not included<br />
in <strong>the</strong> general operating budget. The SPLOST funds can only be used<br />
for capital improvements and cannot be used for salaries or operating<br />
expenses such as busing and utilities.<br />
EASTVALLEY FOUNDATION UPDATE<br />
Summary <strong>of</strong> how we spent our money:<br />
We gave more than $8,000 <strong>to</strong> teachers <strong>to</strong><br />
use for classroom supplies as part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Parent Challenge.<br />
More than $4,000 was raised from families<br />
and we gave an additional $100 per<br />
classroom so that teachers do not have <strong>to</strong><br />
use <strong>the</strong>ir own money.<br />
Included in <strong>the</strong> SPLOST projects notebook are new and replacement<br />
school facilities, <strong>the</strong> construction <strong>of</strong> approximately 407 new<br />
classrooms throughout <strong>the</strong> district, maintenance projects such as<br />
parking lot repaving, painting and plumbing as well as funding for<br />
technology infrastructure and curriculum as well as safety and<br />
security measures.<br />
SPLOST will allow for many improvements <strong>to</strong> our schools as well<br />
eliminating <strong>the</strong> need <strong>to</strong> <strong>issue</strong> bonds <strong>to</strong> pay for <strong>the</strong>se improvements<br />
which have <strong>to</strong> be paid back with interest.<br />
To see a list <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> projects covered by SPLOST IV and a list <strong>of</strong><br />
frequently asked questions regarding SPLOST, please check <strong>the</strong> district<br />
website at www.cobbk12.org/splost/.<br />
A NEW PARTNER IN EDUCATION<br />
The Library now has $3,000 worth <strong>of</strong> new<br />
books, which were much needed.<br />
The combined efforts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> PTA and<br />
Foundation’s Patron Drive helped fund <strong>the</strong><br />
PTA budget so that programs like Books<br />
for Breakfast are supported, <strong>the</strong> school<br />
can provide field trips for all children and<br />
we can promote community through our<br />
Family Events like International Day and<br />
Fall Festival throughout <strong>the</strong> year.<br />
Thank you <strong>to</strong> those who enriched <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
child’s education by investing in our<br />
Patron Drive last fall.<br />
We need continued support from families<br />
so we can provide even more for <strong>Eastvalley</strong><br />
next year.<br />

Boosterthon Fun Run Raises $19,000<br />
The Boosterthon Fun Run was an<br />
awesome program for our students<br />
and staff. The daily character<br />
lessons, <strong>the</strong> enthusiasm, <strong>the</strong> run<br />
itself, and <strong>the</strong> money raised will all<br />
benefit <strong>Eastvalley</strong> students in many<br />
different ways in <strong>the</strong> upcoming<br />
months. All students were able<br />
<strong>to</strong> be Boosterthon All-Stars in<br />
understanding how <strong>to</strong> make good<br />
choices and running up <strong>to</strong> 35 laps<br />
<strong>to</strong> show <strong>the</strong>ir fitness levels. The<br />
students were able <strong>to</strong> get pledges<br />
from 36 states and 16 countries<br />
in <strong>the</strong>ir efforts <strong>to</strong> raise just over<br />
$19,000 for <strong>the</strong> <strong>Eastvalley</strong> PTA.<br />
Great job, <strong>Eastvalley</strong> students!<br />

build <strong>the</strong> essential life skills and<br />
characteristics that students<br />
need <strong>to</strong> thrive in <strong>the</strong> 21st<br />
century.<br />

People. Our students will learn<br />
how <strong>to</strong> be proactive, think winwin,<br />
and <strong>to</strong> put first things first<br />

WE NEED PARENT VOLUNTEERS!<br />
Hello <strong>Eastvalley</strong> families,<br />
We are almost finished with this school year and have celebrated many<br />
fun events in 2012 and <strong>2013</strong>. <strong>Eastvalley</strong> is so fortunate <strong>to</strong> have so many<br />
wonderful volunteers <strong>to</strong> help us with all <strong>the</strong>se events and daily school<br />
activities.<br />
Perhaps you have seen an event or a program and have said, “I could help<br />
with that!” or “I’d like <strong>to</strong> co-Chair that!” We can put you in <strong>to</strong>uch with<br />
current and previous volunteers and let you know all <strong>the</strong> position entails.<br />
We welcome you and any ideas you may have <strong>to</strong> make our school great!!<br />
Much <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> overall planning for <strong>the</strong> school year calendar occurs over<br />
<strong>the</strong> summer break. In order <strong>to</strong> make sure we have volunteers for <strong>the</strong><br />
traditional events and activities, we would also like <strong>to</strong> know who would<br />
like <strong>to</strong> remain or commit <strong>to</strong> new committees for <strong>the</strong> <strong>2013</strong>-2014 school<br />
year.<br />
We’ve created a “Sign Up Genius” where you can read <strong>the</strong> committee<br />
descriptions and select where you would like <strong>to</strong> volunteer <strong>to</strong> support <strong>the</strong><br />
children and <strong>the</strong> school. If you have any questions, please email<br />
evesvolunteers@gmail.com.<br />
The link <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Sign Up Genius is:<br />

items <strong>to</strong> one ano<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
Third Grade: It’s HOT!<br />
To finish up our unit on heat, we<br />
investigated heat sources with a handson<br />
lab. We observed electricity, friction,<br />
burning and solar energy. Each student<br />
had <strong>to</strong> make a prediction, observe and<br />
record <strong>the</strong>ir observations.<br />

Reflections for Next Year!<br />
We are very proud <strong>of</strong> our 13 winners at<br />
<strong>the</strong> county level for <strong>the</strong> PTA Reflections<br />
contest this year. Unfortunately, we had no<br />
state winners. Thanks <strong>to</strong> all students who<br />
entered <strong>the</strong> contest and thank you parents<br />
for making sure <strong>the</strong> entries were in on<br />
time.<br />
Second grade is learning about life cycles. They learned about<br />
<strong>the</strong> life cycle <strong>of</strong> plants by planting seeds and watching as<br />
<strong>the</strong>y sprouted and become plants. They anxiously watched<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir caterpillars as <strong>the</strong>y grew and built <strong>the</strong>ir chrysalises and<br />
emerged as butterflies.<br />
The <strong>the</strong>me for next year, <strong>2013</strong>-14, is<br />
"Believe, Dream, Inspire."<br />
The deadline <strong>to</strong> submit entries <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Eastvalley</strong> Reflections committee is<br />
tentatively set for September 30th.<br />
Don't wait — start working on those<br />
entries now!<br />

A Lesson in Courage<br />
On Monday, <strong>May</strong> 7th, <strong>the</strong> 4th and 5th graders<br />
were honored by a visit from civil rights pioneer<br />
Terrence Roberts. Dr. Roberts is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nine<br />
African-American students who integrated<br />
Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas in<br />
1957. The group <strong>of</strong> nine students is<br />
known as <strong>the</strong> "Little Rock Nine." Dr.<br />
Roberts spoke <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> students about<br />

AROUND THE COMMUNITY<br />
EASTVALLEY CUB SCOUT PACK 565 NEEDS YOU<br />
Parents <strong>of</strong> upcoming 1st - 5th<br />
grade boys are needed <strong>to</strong> help run<br />
Cub Scout Pack 565 at <strong>Eastvalley</strong><br />
Elementary.<br />
For more than 20 years, Pack 565<br />
has introduced 1st - 5th grade<br />
<strong>Eastvalley</strong> boys and <strong>the</strong>ir families<br />
<strong>to</strong> Scouting. Once a boy completes<br />
Kindergarten, he can join Cub<br />
Scouts as a member <strong>of</strong> a Tiger Cub<br />
Den with o<strong>the</strong>r 1st grade boys.<br />
A NEW PARTNER IN EDUCATION<br />
They become Wolf Cubs for <strong>the</strong><br />
2nd grade year, Bear Cubs for <strong>the</strong><br />
3rd grade year, and <strong>the</strong>n Webelos<br />
Scouts for <strong>the</strong> 4th grade year,<br />
before crossing over <strong>to</strong> Boy Scouts<br />
around February <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir 5th grade<br />
year.<br />
New Den Leaders, Assistant Den<br />
Leaders, and Pack Committee<br />
Members are needed <strong>to</strong> ensure an<br />
effective and fun scouting program<br />
<strong>Eastvalley</strong> Elementary School is proud <strong>to</strong><br />
announce a new Partner in Education!<br />
PNC Bank has joined <strong>the</strong> <strong>Eastvalley</strong> <strong>Eagle</strong><br />
family and we are grateful for <strong>the</strong> support.<br />
PNC Bank is located at 4895 Lower Roswell<br />
Road in Marietta and can be reached at 770-<br />
579-0199.<br />
Please consider PNC for your banking needs<br />
and financial services.<br />
is provided for <strong>the</strong> boys during this<br />
journey.<br />
It is important that we get new<br />
leaders trained and in place now<br />
so Dens can be formed and hit <strong>the</strong><br />
ground running in <strong>the</strong> Fall. Moms<br />
and Dads and Grandparents are<br />
welcome. Former experience with<br />
Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, or Girl<br />
Scouts is a plus, but not required.<br />
The main requirement is an<br />
enthusiasm for introducing boys<br />
<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> joys <strong>of</strong> Cub Scouting and<br />
a willingness <strong>to</strong> put in <strong>the</strong> effort<br />
<strong>to</strong> be an effective Adult Leader.<br />
Volunteers who fill <strong>of</strong>ficial Adult<br />
Leader roles must submit a BSA<br />
Adult Application Form, pass<br />
a background check, and take<br />
Youth Protection Training, along<br />
with o<strong>the</strong>r role-specific training<br />
(provided and/or paid for by <strong>the</strong><br />
Pack).<br />
