Come enjoy a FREE special treat from the PTA - hot cocoa and breakfast baked goods (and yes, coffee!) in the cafeteria starting at 8am until 9:15. Keep it low-key with your student(s) or mingle with our principal, the PTA President, and our teachers and get to know us better!


Fundraiser News

As a registered non-profit and all-volunteer organization, all funds raised by our PTA, except for funds needed to keep our organization running, are used to improve school facilities and our educators’ and students’ educational experience. This year, our fundraising is focused on providing the following:

  • Overhead projectors for six classrooms
  • STEM Week (to include a STEM Night and a science assembly),
  • Literacy Week,
  • Campus renovations (both inside and outside),
  • Spelling Bee,
  • Field trip support,
  • EVES Student Council Association mentoring and sponsorship,
  • Various classroom needs and teacher appreciation items.

Boosterthon funds will support most of our activities throughout the year, but we also have an upcoming spring Spirit Wear Sale, spring Yard Sale, and Read-A-Thon (during Literacy Week) that we hope will collectively bring in an additional $4,500.

There are also many year-round ways to support Eagle View:

  • Amazon Lists
  • Crayola Flowers – forget 1800 Flowers! Buy your bouquets through our Crayola Flowers store and the school gets a percentage of every sale!
  • Restaurant Spirit Nights – enjoy good food and meet and mingle with other EVES families.
  • Box Tops for Education – Download the app or cut the box tops the traditional way.
  • Harris Teeter Together In Education - EVES receives a percent of each Harris Teeter product purchased. Annually link your VIC card with code 3821 to participate.
  • 1st place Spiritwear – did you know we have a spirit wear store that is always open?
