Dear Wolves,

We continue to prepare for the implementation of a hybrid model on April 19. As a summary, here is what we know now.

We appreciate your patience as this process unfolds. By the end of next week, we should have more specifics about the hybrid schedule.

Soon after, we will outline all Covid protocols to ensure a safe reopening. As a reminder, please work with your students to double down on wearing masks and social distancing. We don’t want unsafe behaviors to jeopardize our ability to not only open but stay open.

Wolf Strong, Pack Strong

-Chris Bede, Principal

The PE/Wellness Department is proud to announce the March Rotary Student of the Month – Caden Barrysmith. Mr. Snell says: Caden was nominated for his determination to take advantage of his remote learning experience. Caden checks in every net sports period with his camera on to engage in conversation and share what he is doing to be active. He has worked very hard to increase his track speed and will be competing in the national indoor track meet this month. He participates in national freeride skiing competitions as well and enjoys golf, wakesurfing and of course, net sports. At Eastlake, Caden takes part in Leadership and has 170 hours of community service. Caden would like to pursue a Business degree with a major in Accounting.

We wish him the best in his incredible individual and group performances this spring!

Congratulations Caden - We are thrilled to have you in the Pack!

The most recent murder of Asian women has highlighted the failure of this nation to protect the AAPI community from rising violence in this nation. We must remember that violence exists on a spectrum that ranges from 'joke' and name calling all the way to murder. The AAPI community has been asking the larger community to step in and intervene as hate has spread like a virus throughout our nation and those pleas have largely fallen on deaf ears. As members of the Eastlake community it is our job to ensure that our AAPI Eastlake staff and students feels seen, heard, and protected. We expect all Eastlake community members to intervene if they see hate speech online, or if they hear hate speech when we are back in person. When we say we stand in solidarity with a group of people who are hurting we must remember that this is an action phrase. There are many ways you can choose to intervene, but if you are unsure what to say see list of suggested interruptions. It is also important to report hate crime when you come across it as well, this includes hate speech. Below is a website where you can report it, but also remember to go to administration if it is an Eastlake student. Finally get involved, below are links for ways to do that.

To our AAPI members we know you are grieving, we know you are tired, if you are looking for a safe space to be with other AAPI people The Asian Cultural Club would like to provide a safe space for students to discuss these issues. If anyone is interested in joining our team space, please have them send me an email: eklaka@lwsd.org .
