 Sixth graders in Ms. Lee's class took advantage of the warmer weather this week. Kudos to Ms. Brown and her strings students for a successful winter concert!
Dear Eagle View Families,
What an eventful week it has been at Eagle View!
This week, we focused on other people mindset- cheering on other people’s successes, and we got to practice this as we cheered on our 5th and 6th-grade string students’ successful performance at their winter concert! I am proud of our little musicians and amazing strings teacher, Mrs. Brown!
Yesterday, WUSA9 visited our school to speak with a small group of students about the big game this weekend. The sports reporter, Darren Haynes, asked our students fun questions that aired on Channel 9 as part of their local coverage leading up to the Super Bowl. Our students had a great time talking to Darren Haynes about football and created wonderful memories. Many thanks to WUSA9 for selecting Eagle View for a pre-Super Bowl media opportunity!
We are wrapping up this fun week with a pyramid night at Fairfax High School tonight! The event will be held at door 14, and families can enter through door 21. I look forward to seeing many of you at Fairfax High School tonight!
Sincerely,
KJ An
Principal

Relationships are important components in the development of living a fulfilling life. Valentine’s Day occurs in the month of February, causing a frenzy of purchases and planning between loved ones to show appreciation and love. Forming and maintaining healthy relationships is difficult, but vital, for those in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Healthy relationships are a factor in helping people maintain sobriety (Addiction Center). Bonds and companionship provide emotional support and are effective in increasing health and wellbeing. Emotional support decreases fears and helps people to thrive.
There is value in healthy relationships. Healthy relationships help decrease the chances of people struggling with addictions from engaging in toxic attachments that create feelings of frustration, stress, and conflict. Negative attachments can bring out the worst in people and create feelings that can lead to increased use of alcohol and substance misuse. Positive relationships encourage growth, comfort, and the creation of emotional bonds that provide feelings of joy and support. Open communication and commitment are two of the best ways to foster the ideal type of relationships most people strive for.
Common values to develop in healthy relationships include:
- honesty
- reciprocity
- effort
- respect
- safety & security
- laughter
- acceptance
- healthy boundaries
- unconditional love
- friendship
- non-judgmental
As the world celebrates love, it is important to do our part in the creation of positive partnerships, social circles, and healthy connections. Encourage the support and inspiration of those that may be silently vulnerable and struggling to feel safe.
