Interact Club is hosting a clothing drive for the local community who are in need. We aim to collect warm clothes and hygiene products to donate to local unhoused individuals in the Fern Ridge area. We plan to donate the remaining items to shelters in Eugene. It will be a class competition. The students of the winning class (9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th) will each get a free drink coupon to the coffee cart. It runs from November 27th to December 15th. Students should donate items in their designated class bin in the front of the school.
Parents/ guardians of EHS seniors,
Our counseling department’s annual Financial Aid Night is coming up on Wednesday, December 6. 5:30-6:30pm, in the EHS theatre. This year our guest presenter will be Nomi Pearce, an Access Specialist with Aspire. Nomi’s presentation is “Finding Funds,” and she will share lots of helpful and important tips to guide students and families through the financial aid and scholarship process. Her presentation will cover steps to get funds for any post high-school education students may be considering- community colleges, 4-year colleges, or apprenticeship and trades programs.
This event is intended for both students and their parents/ guardians. Please get in touch with your student’s counselor with any questions.
We hope to see you there!

Parents and Guardians,
We welcome fans to come to the game and root our football team to victory, however, we also want parents and guardians to be aware that some students are leaving the areas that are supervised during the game. We strongly recommend parents/guardians to join their students at the games keeping an eye on them while they are here.
During the last football game, multiple students left the football field and spent time in unsupervised areas (parking lot, track, etc.). Staff left the game to bring students back to the field when we discovered they walked away.
To create a safer experience at the football game this Friday for all of our fans, we will not allow students to leave the game and re-enter. The middle and high school will announce this change to students, but we wanted parents/guardians to be aware as well.
