Thank you so much for the warm welcome. It is an honor and privilege to serve the students, teachers, and parents of such a wonderful neighborhood school. I am impressed with the high caliber instruction of our teachers, enthusiasm for learning from our students, and dedicated parents who actively participate in their child’s education. We are all committed to academic excellence! Since I am new to Eastvalley, I would like to share a little bit about myself. This is my eighteenth year in education and thirteenth year with the Cobb County School District. Prior to moving to Atlanta in 1996, I taught various grade levels in New York. I was a fifth grade teacher in Cobb County before moving into leadership. This is my fifth year in administration. My Bachelor’s Degree is in Dr. Sage Doolittle, Assistant Principal Elementary Education and I received a Master’s Degree in Curriculum Development and Instructional Technology. I completed a Specialist’s Degree in Educational Leadership and earned a Ph.D. in Educational Policy Studies with a concentration in Educational Leadership. As you can see, I enjoy being a student as well as being a teacher and administrator! When I am not at Eastvalley, I love family time with my husband and son. My hobbies include cooking, swimming, traveling, and going to football games. If I can be of assistance to you or your child, please do not hesitate to contact me at Eastvalley.

There are two main ways to participate: ONE: CLIP AND SAVE the small pink “box tops” found on hundreds of products in grocery, discount, and club stores. There is no need to buy anything you wouldn’t ordinarily use, just check your groceries to see if they have a box top on them. When you find one, cut it out and put it into a zip lock baggie or an envelope. Save these box tops and when we have our Fall Collection Drive in October, your child can bring them in to the school. You might even want to encourage your extended family and friends to clip and save for you. Each box top is worth 10 cents for Eastvalley! They really add up - last year we were able to raise over $1,000 for the PTA! TWO: Shop online at the BOX TOPS MARKETPLACE. Go to btfe.com and you can shop at more than 100 retailers. Target and Lands End are just a couple of the stores you can browse through. A percentage of all qualifying purchases will be credited to Eastvalley. It’s simple! Also on the website, you can enter drawings to win thousands of additional box tops for Eastvalley. If you have any questions, please email Trayece Watts at [email protected]. Thank you to all of the families who help make Eastvalley the wonderful school that it is. We are looking forward to another great year!
