Just a couple of reminders/announcements for 8th Graders and their families:
EHS Cheerleading: Any student interested in trying out to for the Elmira High School Cheer Team needs to plan on attending practices 4:00 to 5:30 on May 22nd, May 24, and May 29th at EHS. The try outs themselves will be Thursday, May 31st at 4:30. Students should bring athletic clothing that is comfortable, comfortable shoes, water bottle, and a positive and enthusiastic attitude. No jewelry or false nails. For more information contact coaches Becky Dube’ and Michelle Cook.
Strong Start: There is still room in the Strong Start program this summer. Is your 8th grader organized? Are they good at prioritizing and decision making? Do they know how to set goals and work towards them? If the answer to any of these is no or if they just need a head start on their high school experience, enroll them in the Strong Start program. This fun and lively program goes from July 30th to August 2nd from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM each day. Students who have done the program in the past agree that it was both fun and a fundamental reason behind their own high school success. There is no cost for this program. If you are interested in signing your eighth grade student up or would like more information, contact Stu Burgess at Elmira High School- sburgess@fernridge.k12.or.us

Whether its playing sports, or holding the family pet, or sitting under their favorite tree, or reading their favorite book or about to hit the trail on their dirt bike or planting their garden ….. we want the picture that shows us who your 8th grader really is when they aren’t sitting in a classroom.
