Eastchester showcases new bleachers, first‑responder day; two staff to be recognized in Nashville
Summary
Eastchester staff showed new electric gym bleachers installed over fall break, recounted a first‑responder visit (EMS, county and city fire, police and a Jackson medevac helicopter) and announced that Amy Woolley and Melanie Theel received state recognition and will travel to Nashville.
Miss Brasfield, speaking at the Eastchester site, invited the board to tour newly installed electric bleachers placed over fall break and described classroom activities tied to the school’s theme, "We are family." She described a recent community event in which students met EMS personnel, county and city firefighters, local police and watched an aviation helicopter from Jackson land and depart, saying the visit excited students and could inspire future careers.
Staff said students and classes made thank‑you posters for first responders as part of the school’s fundraiser activities. Miss Robin presented a short video illustrating school community and explained the use of symbolism in classrooms ("disco balls" used as a metaphor for community shining together).
Administrators also announced two staff recognitions: Amy Woolley and Melanie Theel were named among the state finalists for principal/supervisor awards and will travel to Nashville for official recognition. Board members congratulated the staff and encouraged continued community engagement at the Eastchester campus.
