Celebrating Gratitude & Community
As we move into November, a season known for gathering and gratitude, EastSide is taking time to reflect on the incredible people and partnerships that make our school community so special. From our dedicated students and their families to the generous local partners who support us, we have much to be thankful for this year.
Together in Celebration
Last month, we had a fantastic turnout for our annual Trunk or Treat event! Students, parents, faculty, and several local partners, including The Teen Warehouse, Kingswood, WRK Group, Wilmington Library, DE TV, and Barclays, came together for an evening of fun, creativity, and community spirit. Seeing our families enjoying the event together reminded us of the strength and joy in our EastSide family.
These events don’t just happen by chance – they’re a testament to the collective efforts of our school, families, and community. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone involved for their commitment to making EastSide a place of belonging, learning, and joy.
Voices of Gratitude
We are so fortunate to have an amazing group of students, faculty, and parents as part of our strong community. Here are just a few quotes from some of them about what a rich experience it is being part of EastSide!
“I’m grateful for my teachers because they always help me and make me feel like I can do anything.” – 4th Grade Student
“The school community feels like an extended family. I know my child is in a place where people genuinely care about her success.” – EastSide Parent
“I’m thankful for the amazing students we get to work with every day. Their curiosity and energy inspire us all!” – EastSide Teacher
These heartfelt words remind us of the many reasons we love being part of EastSide and the incredible support we receive from those around us.
Partners Who Make a Difference
At EastSide, we’re incredibly fortunate to have community partners who share our mission of uplifting students and families. Our partners play an essential role, from participating in events to offering resources and support for our programs. Their commitment empowers us to create meaningful opportunities and experiences that enrich our students’ lives.
We’re thankful for all the ways our partners step up to make a difference – their involvement not only enhances what we can offer as a school but also reminds our students that their community believes in them.
Looking Ahead
As we celebrate gratitude this month, we’re reminded that EastSide is more than just a place of learning – it’s a thriving community bound by shared goals, friendships, and a commitment to each child’s future. We’re so thankful for each student, family member, teacher, and partner who contributes to our success.
From all of us at EastSide, we wish you a wonderful month filled with joy, connection, and gratitude.
