Mrs. Bearden's Weekly Update

October 27, 2025
 

Dear Eagle Canyon Families,

The Eagle Canyon Fall Family Festival was a blast! Thank you to the PTA and all the room parents for making it a great night for our community. I would also like to thank all the families who donated candy, set up for the event, and stayed to clean up afterward. We have the best community!

I would also like to thank Mr. Thompson, one of our amazing dads. Year after year, Mr. Thompson, who works for J.F. Shea Co., brings four large construction lights to ensure our parking lot has plenty of light for the Fall Family Festival. It takes him several days to bring the lights and take them back to the construction yard. Additionally, he sets each light up and waits until the night's end, while everyone cleans up, before he takes the lights down. Thank you, Mr. Thompson and J.F. Shea Co., for consistently supporting our Fall Family Festival and Eagle Canyon Elementary School.

RED RIBBON WEEK
This week, our Eagle Canyon community will focus on living a drug-free life while celebrating Red Ribbon Week. Each day, the students will learn about living a drug-free life and participate in themed spirit days. The Eagle Canyon PTA has a fun assembly scheduled on Wednesday. I think the students will love it!

THINKNLOCAL FUNDRAISER EXTENDED
The Thinknlocal administrators and Eagle Canyon PTA have extended the fundraiser period. Please continue to scan your receipts to support our students. As of today, we have raised $466.26.

BOX TOPS
I appreciate your support with the Box Tops push. Mr. Rich informed me that Box Tops extended the window to earn $10 for people downloading the app, supporting our school, and scanning their first receipt. Please encourage your family to support our school. All the funds benefit our students.

PARENT VOLUNTEERS
Eagle Canyon thrives because of our parent volunteers. To ensure everyone understands the expectations for volunteering on campus or on a field trip, the Eagle Canyon PBIS Tier 1 developed a Parent Volunteer Agreement. Beginning October 1, we would like any volunteers to complete the form as a volunteer prerequisite. The electronic form is linked below. Volunteers must only complete it once for the 2025-26 school year. Google will email you a copy of your response. Thank you to the 100 volunteers who have completed the Google Form.

Thank you for all your support,
Mrs. Bearden

IMPORTANT REMINDERS

VETERANS' DAY RALLY
On Wednesday, November 12, 2025, at 8:00 a.m., Eagle Canyon will continue its annual tradition of recognizing our local veterans. If you or a family member has served or is currently serving in one of the armed forces, we would love you to participate in our rally. It is important for our students to understand the sacrifices you have made or make on a regular basis for us.

ATTEND TODAY, ACHIEVE TOMORROW

Eagle Canyon's student attendance will be a focus this year. Attendance in school leads to better performance for children when they are adults.

Please make illness the only reason for an absence. When your child misses school, they miss out on necessary instruction, and it takes a while for them to get caught up. Parents of students at risk of Chronic Absenteeism will have to meet with Mrs. Bearden or Mrs. Madkin to sign an agreement to improve overall attendance.

We missed our district attendance goal by .04%. 😟 Please make attendance a priority to ensure your child is prepared for the next grade and beyond.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

happy birthday

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS ON THE MARQUEE

Another way you can support our PTA and celebrate your child's birthday is to purchase a birthday greeting for $25 that will be displayed on your child's birthday and run for one week. If interested, please stop by the office, complete the request, and submit the payment. Please be sure to plan. We need two weeks' notice before the birthday to ensure everything is timed correctly.

The kids get so excited seeing their birthday highlighted on the marquee. Out of safety, we will never publish your child's last name, only the initial.

JOIN THE PTA!

Our amazing Eagle Canyon PTA Board has a year of fun planned for our community. Because of your support, they can continue to provide financial support for field trips, culminating activities, grade-level performances, and schoolwide activities. Use the button below to access the link to join.

OCTOBER CHARACTER TRAIT

Each month, Eagle Canyon will focus on teaching students about a character trait. We will share it during our Monday Morning Rallies, and teachers will reinforce it by recognizing one student each month for a monthly award.

SUPPORT EAGLE CANYON

A popular fundraising opportunity all families can support is Box Tops. Download the Box Top app on your phone. You must scan your receipts on the Box Top app within 14 days of purchasing. The app will let you know if any purchased items qualify to earn 10 cents per product. If there are not any items, you will still have an opportunity to enter the sweepstakes to win 500 bonus Box Tops. Every receipt has the potential to earn our school money.

As of today, our school has earned $1,305.70 this year. Our goal is to earn $1,500. Be sure to select the grade level that you want to support. Shout out to First Grade! They have submitted the most Box Tops since July 1, 2025. Thank you for your support!
