Evansville Day School vocal and instrumental musicians from 4th through 12th grades gathered in Shanklin Theatre at the University of Evansville to showcase their talents and hard work throughout the year. Families were entertained with "A World of Music" featuring musical selections from various cultures - including Latin America, Great Britain, America, and even a special duet in Russian by two native Russian-speaking students. It was truly a great night for performing arts at EDS.

Day School Community Highlights
We held our first ever #OneBoldDay of Giving this week with a goal to raise $24,000 in 24 hours. Your response to the challenge was truly incredible. Donations from parents, alumni, grandparents, and friends of the school poured in all day - at one point we crashed our online donation portal!
A total of 119 people gave on May 2nd and raised a total of $34,249 for Day School. Thank you to our social media ambassadors who helped us spread the #OneBoldMedia campaign, to our students who staffed the phones during the evening phone-a-thon, to our trustees who led the charge with 100 percent participation, and to all of you for supporting with donations and positive feedback on social media! Go Eagles!
Back to School Supplies Kits
Wait... School isn't even out yet! Why are we talking about back to school supplies?! Friends of EDS is offering an option to simplify your back to school shopping through 1st Day School Supplies for grades JPK-8. You can order basic school supplies online in a few clicks through pre-made lists, and the supplies will be delivered to the classroom for the first day of school. Please note: additional items (such as headphones, gym shoes, art smocks, etc.) are NOT included in the boxes and will need to be purchased separately.
The final Friends meeting of the year will be on
Friday, May 14 at 11:00 am in the Alumni Room. We will discuss next year's officers and make plans for the 2018-19 school year. If you have considered being involved with the school's PTO program, please join us to provide your input.
