Important Information

Good Afternoon Students and Families,
It has been a great first week! Our newsletter will be coming out every Friday throughout the school year. It will have all of the upcoming events, important information, and goings on from each team.
My goal this year is to take one week a month to share more in-depth information about a topic here at EAMS. To kick off the year, I have included a video about WIN time, which stands for "What I Need."
At the end of the video, I'll preview next week and share about our "You Belong Here" board (if you want to skip ahead and learn about WIN later).
|
As mentioned in the video, you can use this link to find out about the co-curricular opportunities at EAMS, and here is the information regarding next Friday's mental-health awareness lesson:
Raising Awareness Over Depression
Focus: In Lesson 1, students will learn that depression is a common and serious brain disorder and how to recognize the warning signs. Students will also learn about treatment for depression and how to help themselves or a friend who may be struggling. Finally, strategies for good mental health will be discussed.
Link to Presentation (have to open in order to play videos in Loom presentation)
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

SAVE THE DATE: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2021
"DECODING THE MIDDLE SCHOOL"
We're trying something new this year! Rather than our traditional meetings, the PTO will be hosting monthly informational social gatherings so parents and guardians can get all the tools they need to help ensure their Elk's success. Our first get-together will be held on Tuesday, September 21st at 6:00pm: 6th Grade parents/guardians in the gymnasium, 7th/8th Grade parents in the cafeteria. A principal, grade-level teacher, and moderator will be on hand for each group to answer questions and give tips on how to best help students at each grade level. Because of our limited time together, please email elkhornms.pto@gmail.com with questions or topics you'd like us to cover so we are sure to mention what you want to learn more about!

BACK-TO-SCHOOL DANCE: SEPTEMBER 24, 2021
LET'S BOOGIE... OUTDOORS!
Every effort will be made this year for the PTO to host some fun extra-curricular events, beginning with our first dance on Friday, September 24th from 6:00-8:00pm. Attendees can enjoy hanging out with friends, games, concessions, dancing and DJ provided by the EAMS PTO.
Let's make it happen for our kids! Like all things, it will take a village (or our Middle School community in this case) to help us pull "outside of the box" events like this off. A Sign-Up Genius will be in next week's PTO Corner to help chaperone, supervise outdoor sports, help in the concession stand, set up or clean afterward. Thanks in advance!

Elkhorn Resilience Coalition |
Welcome Back! I want to say THANK YOU! Thank you for being engaged in your community, thank you for taking pride in the growth of your community, and thank you for your time.
From the questionnaire you had filled out back in July, this is what the outcome is for the upcoming school year for the 'In Conversation' events. You spoke up on what you wanted to learn about, the timing of the events, and shared how you felt this is working for the community. We took your feedback and created the next school year free ‘In Conversation’ events. They will continue to be held online and in person at EAHS on the third Wednesdays of the month, doors opening at 5:30 pm and the event starts at 6 pm. Mark your calendars, register for the events here, and bring your questions and recommendations. We look forward to continuing to grow our resilience in the community together starting September 15th with Healthy Relationships.
Sincerely,
Senta Holmes
Community Resiliency Outreach Coordinator
