February 11, 2022
Dear EAMS Students and Families,
This week was Hope Week! Thank you to our Hope Squad students and advisors (Ms. Blatter, Mr. Ghilani, Ms. Mariano, and Ms. Rogowski) for decorating the school, setting up our dress-up days, and organizing the activities. Comfy clothes, crazy hair, and even some welding helmets made an appearance. Hope Week is important for mental-health awareness, and it is a great spirit week during the long winter!
The NJHS Application Period is ending soon: The application is open to all current 7th and 8th grade students with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher, which can be found on Skyward via Family or Student Access. Return completed forms to Mrs. Dopke by February 15, 2022.
There is no school next Friday, February 18th, so there will only be one Readiness Lesson. On Monday, all EAMS students will be participating in the Attitude of Gratitude activity. All of us have had a moment where somebody showed gratitude to us, and that is a positive, uplifting experience. Monday’s activity will be an opportunity and reminder of showing appreciation to others!
In two weeks, EAMS will be hosting our first ever Service Fair. Working with the Elkhorn Resiliency Coalition, over 30 service organizations in the area are coming to meet with our 7th and 8th-grade students. Students will learn about local non-profits, how to volunteer and help, and how to connect people in need with non-profit organizations. You can read more about the upcoming experience here.
As items come up that you have questions or concerns about, please do not hesitate to contact me, have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Ryan McBurney
Principal
#YouBelongHere
