🏆First EHS Flocktition of the Year!🏆

Our flocks went head-to-head in a variety of games and challenges that brought students from all grade levels together to compete, cheer each other on, and have a whole lot of fun!

From teamwork and strategy to determination and a little friendly competition, our Hawks showed what it means to be part of a flock. ❤️🖤

The Flocktition was about more than winning—it was about building relationships, working together, making memories, and having fun!

❤️ MEET YOUR PTA OFFICERS! 🖤

Next up… Lacey VanCleave, your PTA Treasurer! 🌟

“Hi EHS families! I’m Lacey VanCleave, and I’m happy to be serving as your PTA Treasurer this year!

My husband and I are parents to Lila and Cora, who are both Hawks at East Heights. I originally joined the PTA when Lila started kindergarten as a way to get involved, and it’s been such a rewarding experience. I truly believe that strong connections between families, teachers, and staff are what help our students thrive.

When I’m not volunteering, I work for Humana in behavioral health utilization management and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor for 16 years. In my free time, I love gardening, hiking, reading, and getting out into the community with my family.

I’m looking forward to another fantastic year of growing our connections and supporting EHS together!”
