Boosterthon Fun Run 

April 2009 

Eastvalley students and their families 

were encouraged to DREAM BIG 

from March 3 rd through the 12 th as 

we embarked on our first ever Booserthon 

Fun Run experience. The 

Boosterthon guys kicked off this 

amazing 10 day fundraiser with Pep 

Rallies chock-full of all the ingredients 

our students love…..music, silliness, 

prizes, opportunities to get in 

on the action, watching their teachers 

dance, and free reign to scream as loud as possible. While there, they were introduced 

to the Boosterthon core values: Education, Fitness and Character. 

Throughout the Team days, our children received a brief lesson on 5 character 

traits: Diligence, Responsibility, Enthusiasm, Appreciation and Making a Difference, 

and were given practical applications for demonstrating these in every day life. The 

Boosterthon Team did an amazing job of emanating enthusiasm and a positive outlook 

with the goal of supporting and encouraging students to do and be their very best. 

The Fun Run itself was a blast and our students absolutely loved it! The weather 

was perfect and the field behind our school was transformed into a dual track 

speedway where EVERY student ran, skipped, surfed, flew, limboed and danced their 

laps after pausing briefly for Teacher Coaches to mark their progress on their 

shirts. 

Some interesting facts from the Boosterthon Fun Run at our school this year: While 

the Fun Run involved EVERY CHILD regardless of financial participation, 75% of 

Eastvalley students participated financially in the program! 

Pledges were received from all 50 states and 19 different countries! Be on 

the lookout for Ms. Wacker’s special reward for meeting the “50 

State Principal’s Challenge” on Friday, April 3 rd !

From the Principal April 2009 

Dear Parents, 

We’ve reached the time of year when our thoughts are already looking ahead to next year. 

It’s amazing how far ahead we need to plan to have everything ready for the new school year 

which will begin in August. In that light, I need to share some new procedures with you. 

As I shared with teachers the very first meeting I spent with them last August, I trust that the best and 

brightest have been hired to teach at Eastvalley. We have now worked together for 7 months and I have 

found that the staff here is very dedicated and caring for all students. I feel every teacher is going to give 

their best effort to make sure that every child reaches the highest possible expectations. 

For the next school year, I will not be accepting requests for a specific teacher to teach your child. I will 

also not accept any requests for a certain teacher not to have your child. Our procedure will be for the current-year 

teachers to meet with me and build classes of students who will work well together. There will be 

no names on the class lists; I will make the teacher assignments later in the summer. Please do not write 

letters to your current teacher or to me with any teacher requests, as they will not be honored. 

Registration cards for next school year will be sent home in late April/early May. All students in Kindergarten 

through 4 th grade will receive a registration card. Registration cards are required each school year 

for your child to be properly enrolled in school. In order to be placed on a class list for next year, this registration 

card must be returned by the due date. If you are moving, or your child is not returning to Eastvalley 

for some other reason, you will write a note that your child is not retuning and return it to the classroom 

teacher. That way, we will know not to place your child on a class list. The envelope that the cards come 

home in will be used to mail the final report card home in late May. We will ask each family to put 4 (four) 

U.S. postage stamps on the envelope to ensure that it will be delivered through the U.S. mail. 

Spring Break is upon us, and I hope that each of you has a wonderful time off with your family. Rest, relax 

and reenergize! You will need it for when we return, we will be coming quickly to CRCT testing and all 

the special events that happen at the end of the school year.

Prezados Pais, 


Chegamos a uma etapa do ano em que nos preparamos para o próximo ano escolar. 

É necessário um planejamento adiantado para que tenhamos tudo pronto para o novo ano 

escolar que começa em Agôsto. Por falar nisto, necessito compartilhar as novas normas com 

vocês. 

Como falei para os professores na primeira reunião que tivemos em Agôsto, acredito que os professores 

que trabalham na Eastvalley são as melhores e mais inteligentes. Estamos trabalhando juntos há 7 meses e 

tenho verificado que nossos profissionais são muito dedicados e se preocupam com os estudantes . Acredito 

que cada professor dará o que tem de melhor para fazer com que cada criança alcance seu potencial 

máximo. 

Para o próximo ano escolar, não aceitarei pedidos para que alunos tenham professores específicos. Também 

não aceitarei pedidos para que certos professores não ensinem á seus filhos(a). Faremos o seguinte, os 

professores deste ano escolar se reunirão comigo para podermos formar classes de estudantes que trabalham 

bem juntos. Não teremos nomes na lista de classes; disignarei a lista para cada professor no verão. Por favor 

não mandem cartas para os professores nem para mim pedindo professor específico, pois infelizmente não 

poderei atender. 

Cartão de matrícula será enviado para casa no final de Abril/começo de Maio. Todos os estudantes de 

Afabetização à 4rta. séries receberão um cartão de matrícula. O cartão de matrícula é necessário a cada ano 

escolar para certificar que sua criança esta matriculado em nossa escola. Para que a criança tenha seu lugar 

em uma sala de aula, é necessário que tenhamos o cartão de volta e preenchido até a data indicada. Se você 

vai se mudar ou se sua criança não vai voltar a Eastvalley, por favor escreva uma nota para professora. 

Desta maneira, saberemos para não colocar o estudante na lista quando selecionarmos as classes. O 

envelope que mandaremos o cartão será o mesmo que mandaremos o boletim no final de Maio. Pedimos a 

cada família para enviar 4(quatro) selos dentro do envelope para assegurar a entrega pelo correio U.S. 

As férias da primava estão se aproximando, espero que cada um de vocês tenha um tempo maravilhoso 

com sua família. Descanse, relaxe e ganhe energia! Voce precisará desta energia para quando voltar. Os 

exames CRCT começarão em breve e todos os eventos especiais que fazem parte do final do ano escolar.

CONSEQUENCES OF CRIME PROGRAM 

Consequences of Crime is a program coordinated by the Eastern Cobb County Council PTA and works 

closely with the Sheriff's office to implement the presentations. This program was presented at Eastvalley 

in March. Fifteen students from fifth grade classes were selected randomly by their teachers for a 

field trip to the Cobb County Adult Detention Center. The students toured the center, while receiving 

information about shoplifting, juvenile delinquency, drugs and alcohol, with a focus on choices and their 

consequences. Upon their return, they shared their experiences and impressions with their classmates. 

They will be requested to write a short paragraph that you will see right here in the Newsletter! 

Stay tuned….

From The PTA Co-Presidents April 2009 

Dear Eastvalley Families, 

Estimadas Famílias de Eastvalley,

expectations with your help and commitment to 

our little school with a very big heart. We received 

pledges from ALL 50 States -- and 19 

Countries! The students really enjoyed those 

“crazy” Boosterthon guys--“Sweet Chicken”!! 

Please join us for Tune Out TV week March 30 th - 

April 3rd…We really think it’s going to be well 

worth hiding that remote. 

Finally, we hope to see you at the last general

Boosterthon Fun Run Continued... 


As a whole, the students averaged 32 laps at the Fun Run (about 2 miles)! And a total of 16,920 laps 

were run! (almost 1,000 miles)! 

If we collect 100% of our pledges, Eastvalley’s net profit will be nearly $24,000 …an absolutely 

amazing and unparalleled feat! 

The classes who brought in the most pledges were Mrs. Swafford’s, Mrs. Whitaker’s, and Ms. Grierson’s. 

Mrs. Hathcoat’s class won the “most new pledges on the final night” challenge and Solomon Welfare in Mrs. 

Savage’s class received the highest individual pledges overall! Be sure to check out his one-of-a-kind, personalized 

tennis shoes once they arrive! 



Hats off to our incredible students for DREAMING BIG… way beyond our expectations … going above and 

beyond in contributing much needed funds for their school. A big thank you goes out to our greatest head 

cheerleader, Ms. Wacker, our assistant cheerleader, Mrs. Morris, all our Coaches (Cobb County’s finest 

teachers), our fabulous Super Fans (better known as Room Reps) and their dedicated coordinator, and 

Eastvalley Staff for rising to the occasion and keeping up with the Boosterthon Team in terms of energy 

and enthusiasm. Thank you to our volunteers on the day of the Fun Run and to the tireless water station 

workers who kept our runners well-hydrated. A huge thank you also goes to our EASTVALLEY PARENTS 

for your support of - and tolerance for - the need for fundraising, especially in these difficult economic 

times. Your generosity is a tangible example of what makes Eastvalley the “little school” with a “Big Heart”!

front of the TV or the computer, Tune out TV week is a great opportunity for parents and children to regain 

control of TV viewing habits. We see this as including all electronics that your child may be hooked on:
