    Driven to Give
    Lincoln will be on Day School's campus Saturday, April 30 from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm offering test drives of their vehicles. For each test drive, Lincoln will donate $20 to Friends of EDS. This event raises up to $8000 for us, and we would appreciate your participation! 

    Even if you cannot attend that day, you can sign up online, and $20 will still be donated to the school. 

    Friends of EDS
    Friends' final meeting of the year will be on Friday, May 6 at 8:05 am. This will also be our Volunteer Breakfast for the EDS community as a thank you for a great year. We invite everyone to mark your calendars and plan to join us that morning!

    Counselors in Training
    We are excited to introduce a brand-new Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program for the 2016 Summer Academy! The CIT program is open to any rising 6th - 8th grade EDS student attending Summer Academy classes. 
    This program is available for NO additional fee! Experience as a CIT gives your child the chance to gain the necessary skills to obtain a paid counselor position when he/she is in Upper School.
     
    If your child is interested, he/she should see Mrs. Deppe for an application.

There were 111 submissions for the contest, and 35 of those were selected to be on display for the exhibit. Submissions came from several states and had to be at least 75% recycled materials. Outstanding work, Day School!
