    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!
    EDS at Arts Council Show
    Evansville Day School's "The Beauty of Nature" mural will be displayed at the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana's 2016 Another's Treasure exhibit. The exhibit will officially open on April 8th, and a reception and award presentation will be held on Earth Day, Friday, April 22, from 5:30 pm - 7 pm. 
    The work is a collaborative effort between our middle and primary school students. Last fall, 6th graders created art based on the question, "What does a sustainable world look like?" The winning design is an original watercolor by Emma Troost, depicting an eagle soaring over green hills in front of a rising sun. 8th grade students painted the enlarged design on plywood panels. Mrs. Powell's science students washed and prepared the caps, and the Primary students sorted the caps by color and placed them on the mural.

    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.
