- Is it the Truth?
- Is it Fair to all concerned?
- Will it build Good Will and Better Friendships?
- Will it be Beneficial to all concerned?
EAA's own Sam Kim was chosen as the winner of the contest, In addition to a monetary prize, Sam will move on and compete in the regional contest. Congratulations, to both Sam and Rebecca for showing the best of EAA to the Rotary members of Escondido. Good Luck, Sam, on the next phase of the competition.

How much weight can four plastic cups and popsicle-sized wooden sticks hold? Mrs. Shetler's young Engineers found the answer to that question as they built structures and then tested them to see how well they stood up to a weight challenge. Pretty amazing stuff!

Winn Dixie Party for Grades 4 & 5

Today we celebrated friendship by recreating a
Because of Winn Dixie
party, a book we recently finished. We copied the party items from our book: jars of pickles, peanut butter (sunflower butter), cheese, egg salad sandwiches, Dump Punch and Littmus Lozenges. We decorated with lights, dog pictures, and pastel colored streamers!

Each week the chapel is the spot where EAA students and staff gather to spend some time praising God. High school students meet on Thursdays, while MS students meet Friday morning and TK-5 make chapel their last activity before dismissal on Friday. The pictures show preparation for MS worship.

Hands-On Science for Grades 1 & 2
|
|
For a wonderful, hands-on learning experience, there are few places better than the Rueben H. Fleet Science Center located in Balboa Park. 1st and 2nd graders, along with their fearless leader, Mrs. McCary, spent February 6 turning every knob and spinning every wheel. In addition, they saw the IMAX feature, "Turtle Odyssey."

Integrity Emphasized at Bible Conference

Each year the Southeastern California Conference sponsors a Bible Conference for Juniors and Seniors. The annual conference, held at Pine Springs Ranch, featured speaker Pastor Iki Taimi, who shared thoughts with the 300+ students in attendance on the Conference theme of
Integrity
. EAA was well-represented by 25 student leaders, seven of whom are EAA Family Group Leaders. It is always exciting to see how these student leaders bring excitement back to campus after this experience.
Special thanks to sponsors, Mr. & Mrs. Martinez and Mr. Davis.

Dreams and Careers Start at EAA
|

During their time at EAA, Sydney Du and Kiana Shetler developed a close friendship. They soon discovered that they shared a love of photography and decided to venture into the world of business and begin their own photography business. There have been challenges since both young women are in school and are living in different states. However, they love meeting and connecting with people and capturing that photo that will be a lasting memory. Their goals include becoming photographers who specialize in weddings and elopements.

Reminder:
Alumni Weekend
May 2, 2020
|
|
Hawks Family,
I recently had the privilege of attending the SECC Junior & Senior Bible Conference at Pine Springs Ranch with several of our upper-classmen. It was an action-packed three days filled with fellowship, worship, and the Word presented to the students by Pastor Iki Taimi.
As the students were constantly confronted with the message centered around Integrity, I was blessed by the words found in Romans 8:14, "For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God." I love that our students came home on fire for Christ, and ready to bring some of that fire to their own campus. What I love the most is that we were reminded that we are all children of God.
We are blessed to work together each day with our students and families. May we never forget that collectively, we are all part of His family.
Blessings,
Bill Davis
TK-12 Principal
