Dear Wolves,
We wanted to share with you that our beloved Office Manager, Lori Rowe, passed away last night after being diagnosed with lung cancer in November. Lori is survived by her husband Dave, her twin sons Doug and Steve and her daughter, Katie. Her three kids all graduated from Eastlake.
Lori was also the mother of our Eastlake family. More than anyone, she was the heart and soul of this school. She loved Eastlake, and we loved her. She was also loved by every delivery driver, substitute and maintenance worker that visited Eastlake. Lori was gracious. She was a helper and a problem-solver.
We will find ways to show our love and support to her family. We will also be setting up a scholarship for an Eastlake student in her name. Right before her passing last night, her son Steve told her about the scholarship. She opened her eyes and smiled.
Wolf Strong Pack Strong
Chris Bede, Principal
Eastlake High School

Sammamish Rotary Student of the Month – December 2021
The Eastlake Math Department is proud to announce the December Rotary Student of the Month-Daphne Suen. Mr. Emerson says: “Daphne is an academically talented student and truly shines as a leader. She is co-president of the Math Honor Society and a participant of STEM & Leaf (a mentoring program for gender minorities entering STEM professions). She is that rare individual who marries pragmatism, ambition, and vision in ways that have allowed us to extend our reach without compromising on the quality of what we’re doing. She listens to the needs of those she leads and uses that data to aid in her decisions. She has worked tirelessly for the STEM & Leaf organization to make it a success. She creates PowerPoints for meetings, has advertised the group on social media, and contacted potential members to ensure awareness of its mission.”
Daphne would like to pursue studies in Neurotechnology to work in the medical field along with conducting research as a neuroscientist.
Congratulations Daphne. We are thrilled to have you in the Pack!

Registration for the 2022-2023 School Year - Week of February 7th - 11th
In preparation for this, school counselors, along with our College & Career Specialist, Carol McGuigan, and High School and Beyond Plan Coordinator, Tyshawn Ward, will be offering 4-year planning sessions on January 7th, and January 14th during Wolf Times.
This is an opportunity to thoughtfully identify courses that are aligned with your post-high school plans and interests. Due to the volume of student interest that arises the week of registration, counselors will not be able to set up individual appointments during that time. These three sessions are your opportunities to get ahead and receive some individualized attention with your long-term course planning.
If interested in attending one of these sessions, please sign up in Flexi-Sched.

Message from Andrea Frost, YES Substance Abuse Education & Prevention Coordinator: Drug/Alcohol use and Sexual Assault
This is a difficult subject to talk about so it’s even more important to make sure students are aware of how using substances could play a role in sexual assault for males and females more.
