<p class="editor-paragraph"><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dear Parents and Caregivers,</strong></b></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">We’ve noticed an increase in toys coming to school in students’ backpacks, and unfortunately this has been creating some classroom challenges—drama, tears, and even a few </span><i><em class="editor-text-italic" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">sticky eagle talons</em></i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> along the way! 🦅</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">To help keep our learning environment calm, focused, and fair for everyone, we ask that </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">all toys remain at home</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.

Additionally, students are </span><b><strong class="editor-text-bold" style="white-space: pre-wrap;">not permitted to trade toys or fidgets</strong></b><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> at school.</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Thank you for your support in helping our Eagles soar and keeping our classrooms focused on learning!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Warm regards,</span><br><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Eagle Nation </span></p>
