Fund Raisers
I have added a new link on the side that has some general information regarding the EHS Booster Club. Please check it out, visit their website and contact them if you have any questions. The Booster Club does a TON for EHS student athletes and it is a great way for parents to get involved.
With all the no-school days, we have lots of information to get out here at EHS. Please see below:
1. “Like” the “Principal Carpenter” facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/?sk=welcome#!/pages/Principal-Carpenter/460293930736145 to get updated information regarding EHS. This has been the primary way (outside of automated phone calls parents get) that I have been communicating immediate school closure information.
2. Tonight (Friday, December 13th) we are having home BBX games for both boys and Girls. At FRMS we have JV Girls at 5:15 and JV Boys at 7:00. In the EHS gym we have Varsity Boys at 5:30 ande Varsity Girls at 7:00.
3. FOOD DRIVE: Unfortunately, the last 6 days of school have decimated our Holiday food drive. We will not be attempting to “make-it-up,” so the Food Drive is over for this year. Next week when we return to school our focus will be on the Holiday “Adopt-A-Family” that students have been working on. Thanks to all those that are participating.
4. No decisions have been made yet on “make-up” days or any changes to the calendar as a result of school being closed this past week. As soon as any decisions are made in that regard, the information will be put out.
5. Progress report grades were to be uploaded by teachers today, and mailed home on Monday the 16th. With the loss of the last week, that will change. Once we get the new date I will let parents know.
1. THE ANNUAL CANNED FOOD DRIVE:
This program begins Monday, December 2nd and runs through December 13th. Students that particiapte will receive raffle tickets for every 3 cans of food they bring in each day. Daily drawings for prizes will occur in addition to the grand prize of …a $100 VISA gift card. Thanks in advance to all of the members of the EHS community that participate to make this a successful event. The food is donated to those in need right here in the Elmira/Veneta/Noti/Walton area.
2. ADOPT-A-FAMILY:
Each school in the Fern Ridge School District has given EHS a family that could use some assistance this Holiday Season. The Honor Society and Key Club are coordinating this event through 5th period classes. Each class has been assigned a specific person (no names included), and the class gets that information. Such as: 8 year old boy, likes to read, do puzzles and play his PS4. The lists includes his needs and wishes. If you woud like more information regarding this program, as you may hear your student talking about it, please feel free to contact Mr. Cooper or Mrs. Marquess here at EHS.
Thanks again to everyone that takes the time to particpate in these two programs. The lessons learned here by our students are meaningful and important. As someone who has delivered the presents to families in the adopt-a-family program, I can tell you they are all extremely grateful. I wish everyone had a chance to see the joy and appreciation on their faces when they are delivered, as it is something you would not forget. GO FALCONS!
Grad-Night is a group of volunteer parents who organize a safe “after-graduation” party for our Senior class. This committee meets here at EHS in the library on identified Monday evenings. If you have a senior student, are able and willing, they are definitely looking for more volutneers! One of their biggest fundraisers of the year is Powder-Puff Football. The game is scheduled for kick-off Thursday night, October 31st at 7:30 on the main football field. The senior girls, coached by Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Brands, will be taking on the junior girls, coached by Mr. Shannon and Mr. Best. Because it is Halloween night there will be a halftime costume contest and the snack bar and grill will be open for dinner. Gates open at 6:30 and the pricing is as follows:
Family: $15 (2 adults and 2 children) $13 if children come in costumes
Adults: $5
Seniors/Students $4-$3 in costume
Come on out and enjoy the fun!
