Dear EAMS Students and Families,
On January 24th, Mr. Jeff Fuller and his Family were recognized by the Elkhorn Area School District for a generous donation to the district, earmarked for starting a Hope Squad at EAMS and EAHS. The family tragically lost their son to death by suicide in 2019, but in the face of this tragedy, Mr. Fuller and his Family fundraised enough money to try and make a positive impact on students. I share that now because next week is our annual Hope Week sponsored by the EAMS Hope Squad.
Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program. Hope Squad members are nominated by their classmates as trustworthy peers and trained by advisors. The program reduces youth suicide through education, training, and peer intervention. Students spent time last night decorating the school for the week with some encouraging messages:

I encourage everyone to participate in our dress-up days next week:
- Monday: Pajama Day
- Tuesday: Crazy Hair Day
- Wednesday: Future Day
- Thursday: Country vs. Country Club Day
- Friday: Squad Day with your WIN class
The NJHS Application Period is fast approaching: 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.
Below, you will find our Readiness Lessons for all grade levels next week:
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
