Eastwood Knolls International School

🦶🔥 Our Eastwood Knolls International School dragons let their toes do the roaring today!
Crazy Sock Day was a toe-tally fun way to celebrate National Wiggle Your Toes Day!

🦕 ROAR-some reflections!
After meeting Penelope Rex in We Don’t Eat Our Classmates, our dragons created their own dinosaurs and wrote what not to do at school!
(Spoiler: eating classmates is still a no-no!) @eastwoodknollsinternational

Great new opportunity for 6th, 7th and 8th grade students Eastwood Knolls International in the form of a Theatre class as an elective.

In previous years, our district was able to provide supplies for all students. However, due to budget constraints, middle and high school students will now need to purchase their own materials for the upcoming school year. To support a smooth transition, we have compiled a general supply list to help families prepare. https://yisd.net/o/yisd/page/middle-school-school-supplies

From tiny 1st graders in my internship days to confident seniors walking the stage—I’ve had the honor of teaching this group three times, and every time they’ve reminded me why I love this job at Eastwood Knolls International. I’m so proud of you guys. 💙 Daniela Olivares
