❤️ A Random Act of Cardinal Kindness 💙
Today, our administration team took time to surprise local businesses with a random act of Cardinal kindness, thanking them for the support they provide our schools throughout the year. They signed thank-you cards and delivered “We Are BR” stickers as a reminder that our schools and community are strongest when we work together.
A special thank you to Cranker’s for hosting breakfast for our administration team this morning—we appreciate your hospitality and continued support!
We are grateful for the partnerships, generosity, and care that make a difference for our students and staff. Together, we are BR.
Our first snow day!!
Get out and enjoy the beautiful snow!
Let's see how creative our students can be. You can build your snowman out of snow, playdoh, draw one, whatever your creative mind can come up with!
Submit your snowman to one of our Eastwood pages for a chance for your class to win a pizza party! We will do this for every snow day we have!

CARDS winners this week! Zoey C, Atley R, Emma E, Corvin P, Lincoln C, Waylon N, Jaxson T, Avery B, Logan J, and Eli C
Since mid-October Sawyer R. has been doing jobs for others to earn donations to buy books and toys for children sick in the hospital. This was his idea after hearing the phrase "round up" while at a store. He asked questions and said he wanted to find a way to help others. His parents supported him throughout the process and wanted to give back locally.
They were able to collect $250 and Sawyer went shopping to pick out items for give.
Sawyer is so proud to be able to help children feel better. (He said he hopes this helps 100 kids!)
We are beyond proud of his hard work, generosity, and kind compassionate heart.
On Monday, Sawyer went to Helen Devos Children's Hospital and delivered the toys he bought with the money he earned! Way to go Sawyer! Everyone at Eastwood Elementary is so proud of you! Way to show everyone what is means to be Compassionate and Determined!
