ELEMENTARY MUSICAL
February 25 at 7:00 pm
Wexford Campus in the South Venue
A Not So Terrible Parable
Performed by Berkeley Hills and Wexford students
It was a dark and stormy night . . .
A man lay injured by the side of the road. Two travelers passed him by. Mysteriously, he is delivered to the doorstep of the quaint Mountain Vista Inn, where the startled guests, the butler and the maid (of course!), and a famous detective must use their wits to sleuth out every clue to get to the bottom of this mystifying whodunit.
Please join us for mystery, candlelight, organ music, strange pizza toppings, and our host, Alistair McAlister,
in this Master’s Peace Theater re-creation of the
parable that Jesus told about the Good Samaritan.

Dear Parents and Students,
We are excited to welcome Anchorpoint Counseling to Campus today, Monday, January 27, and tomorrow, Tuesday, January 28. The counselors will be speaking with the students
during their
Bible classes.
Additionally,
we invite you to join us for the parent session tonight (Monday, January 27) at 6:30 in the school cafe
.
The topics in classes will include peer pressure and the stress that can come with peer pressure. Unfortunately, the combination of these two challenges can lead to young people making poor choices. Healthy coping skills, as an alternative to succumbing to peer pressure, will also be presented. Some of the areas addressed will include alcohol, vaping, drugs and relationships.
Mrs. Cischke (Eden's school counselor) and each Bible teacher will be in attendance in the classroom.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
God Bless,
Todd Aiken
Principal and Chief Academic Officer

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS, PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
The
National College Fair is coming to the David Lawrence Convention Center on
Thursday, February 6, 9:00-12:00 pm and 6:30-9:00 pm AND Friday, February 7, 9:00-12:00 pm
A college fair can be a great way to get initial information and access to hundreds of colleges, particularly if you're in 11th grade!
You must email the front office to notify Eden
that your student is attending the fair with at least one of their own parents/guardians, in order for them
to receive an excused absence
from school. Students, please be responsible and communicate with your teachers as well about any missed work or notes!
Once you connect with colleges of interest at a fair, great next steps are:
• Visit their website and view what they have to offer
• Schedule a tour
We recommend tours be scheduled, whenever possible, over breaks in order to limit missing academic instruction time at Eden. College visits with written notice are excused absences as well. To gain the most benefit from your visits, have questions ready to ask and if you have a major in mind ask the admissions department to sit in on a relevant class.

REQUIRED DENTAL EXAM FOR 7TH GRADE STUDENTS
School Law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania mandates a dental examination
be performed on entry into school (kindergarten or new enrollment), grade three, and
grade seven
. These grades were selected because they represent critical periods of growth and development.
Please submit your child’s dental form to the front office at Eden or directly to the school nurse
before February 28, 2020. Dental exams may be dated any time after July 1, 2018.
If your child has had a dental exam after July 1, 2018, documentation of their visit may be:
• Turned into to the main office at Eden
• Faxed to the school nurse (Avonworth) at 412-358-9621
The school nurse is required to collect this documentation as part of each student’s health record before the end of the school year.
If your child does not have health insurance and you would like to receive information about Children’s Health Insurance Plan (CHIP), please contact the school nurse.

Certified School Nurse
Middle and High School
Office: 412-366-6360 ext. 1610
