The week of May 5th-9th is Teacher Appreciation Week. Thank you to all of the teachers here at EHS who do a great job everyday and often times go above and beyond to provide extended opportunities for our students. You are much appreciated. Parents, if you have a particular teacher you would like to thank, shoot them an email or note sometime and let them know. Recognizing their efforts means a lot.

Mark your calendar. The District Track meet is at EHS this year. The track meet is set for Thursday May 15th and Saturday May 17th. Field events start at 11:00 on both days and running events start and 1:25 on Thursday and 1:00 on Saturday. Campus will be closed to EHS students at lunchtime on Thursday the 15th, so if students do not want to each a school lunch, they should bring one. In addition, all students will be parking in the back staff parking lot so as to allow for the extra space that will be needed up front. The meet is free to students on Thursday, however the Sky-Em league charges for adults both days and for students on Saturday. More information will be put out as this event gets closer.
Reminder: No School, this Friday, April 18th.
A big congratulations to Darin French and Susanna Hedenstrom who will be the class of 2014 Valedictorian and Salutatorian! Both are very talented and hard-working students. Well done!
Between now and Monday morning, April 14th, teachers will be updating their grades and loading progress reports. This is NOT a report card, but rather a picture of where students stand academically mid way through the 2nd semester. All progress reports will be mailed home and you should receive them the middle of next week. The 3rd progress report will come home on or about May 14th, and final report cards will be mailed home the week of June 23rd. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact teachers by phone or via email. Go Falcons!
The Elmira equestrian drill team is headed to state once again. They placed 2nd in districts earning a silver medal. The In Hand Obstacle team, also qualified for state. They placed first at all 3 meets ending the season with a gold medal.

Leah Lowe qualified for state in 8 out of 9 events. (Working pairs, working rancher, reining, dressage, showmanship, driving, IHOR, and drill) but is best known on the team as the glitter queen:)

The $ raised stay right here in our community. The girls have been working hard, have raised a significant amount of money so far, and I expect a great show!
If you haven’t had a chance to visit the webpage of our school counselor, Mrs. Meagan Haas, please do so. This is a great spot to get information. For example, recently (on March 5th) she posted a link on her College and Career Center page, that gives information about the upcoming changes to the SAT that will take place beginning in 2016. This “Counselor Page” should be a good resource to students and families, especially Junior’s and Seniors that are planning to go to College. Feel free to email Meagan directly at mhaas@fernridge.k12.or.us if you have questions or suggestions for this page.
