As the school year rolls ever-closer to graduation, members of the Senior class will share some thoughts about what EAA has meant to them and what they will miss once graduation is over and they are alumni.
"EAA is a great place that taught me the meaning of friendship. I have met the best friends I ever had. I will miss them terribly."

The National Honor Society, under the leadership of Mrs. Vindel, sponsored a three-week long fundraiser to fight Leukemia and Lymphoma. In addition to classroom competitions, one fundraising event involved the entire school.
Stuck for a Buck
saw students purchasing strips of duct tape for $1 to tape Principal, Mr. Davis, to the wall in the Auditorium. It was a GREAT success. $140 was collected through this fundraiser representing 140 pieces of duct tape that held Mr. Davis on the wall!
Thanks for supporting this fundraiser everyone.
The total amount raised during the three weeks was
$1219.33
.
Mr. Davis...Thanks for being such a good sport!

Celebrating Dr. Seuss and Read Across America
|

Students and teachers celebrated
Read Across America
and the birthday of Theodor Seuss Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) on Monday, March 2, 2020. Books, blankets and stuffed animals were on display throughout the classrooms and hallways in the elementary grades. Ms. Zimmerman brought her Dr. Seuss-inspired "Green Eggs and Ham" for the students to enjoy. What a fun way to celebrate the importance of reading.

A book, a blanket and a good friend! It doesn't get any better than this!

High Flight
"Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air."Up, up the long delirious burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
put out my hand and touched the face of God."
By John Gillespie Magee, Jr.

Mr. Dumbeck's remembrance was..."There are some students you just NEVER forget." Who might you see at Alumni Weekend?

Hawks Family,
This past week, I was blessed to celebrate another year of life. Perhaps the biggest blessing that I received, however, was my entire school family gathering together shortly before lunch and presenting me with gifts put together by every class. I can't begin to tell you how much that meant.
Colossians 2:7 reads, "Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness." We are blessed at EAA! We have such an amazing group of students, faculty, staff, and families that are rooted in Him. I am overflowing with thankfulness!
Blessings,
Bill Davis
TK-12 Principal
