May 24 - June 7







"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit."  - Aristotle                                                           

A Note From Mr. Witherspoon:


I want to start off by sending out a great big "Thank you" to all of you (and your families) that have served or are serving in any of our armed forces for our great country.  I am astonished to hear the humility in a veteran's voice when I thank them for their service;  the most common response is, "it was my pleasure".  The men and women that have chosen this path in life are truly special as they have made the conscious decision to place their country first.  Once again, on behalf of our entire Eagle community, I want to say "Thank you" for all you do and have done!   

June is upon us and, before you know it, a new year of learning will be here!  I can't express enough how important it is to formulate a plan with your child(ren) now for the summer.  The plan should include, obviously, fun things to do as well as some type of reading.  Summer reading loss will happen when students spend the summer months without a book in their hands (or any type of text).  Technology can assist with this as well as long as it is geared towards reading; however, I would encourage you to set limits on the screen time for your children.  The goal is to make our students achieve greatness and together we will make it happen!!!  


There are many fun activities that are happening around Cleveland in the upcoming weeks and they will be down below.  I have heard how wonderful these events are and I am excited to be a part of it!


Thank you again for your partnership and all you do in support of each of our learners!   
   
Please, as always, give me a call or email if you have any questions/concerns/compliments regarding Cleveland!!!!  


Stay Awesome and Keep SOARing Eagles!!!!

Community Connections

I want to thank, on behalf of our entire Eagle Community, the following community members that have donated their time and money to make Cleveland even more special than it is!!!!

Thank you to Mile City Church (and several of Eagle Families) for spending time making Cleveland beautiful! They weeded and sread out almost 20 yard of mulch!!!


 



I had the pleasure of meeting several members of the Bob's Discount Furniture Store (next to Home Depot on Middlebelt) last week as they presented Cleveland with a check for $2500!!! The store manager, Fred Rumberger, gave me the background of the company and let me know that this random act of kindness is a
way that their company likes to give back to the communities that have welcomed them in. I want to thank Bob's furniture, on behalf of the entire Cleveland Community, for their generosity and thoughtfulness!!!!





The last "Thank you" goes out to our wonderful PTA who have worked (and continue to work) so hard at planning so many wonderful event that have happened throughout the school year! These events are a huge reason why our Cleveland community is the best around!!!!!
