Hello Wolves!

We are so excited to be back in the Eastlake building starting April 19th! We know some of you have never been in the building before and are a little nervous about how to find your classes. Link Crew leaders are upperclassmen who want to help! Sign up below to come get a tour of the Eastlake building and practice finding your classes before in-person learning resumes on April 19th.

You are still welcome to come get a tour even if you have elected to remain remote for the remainder of the year. These tours are only for Eastlake 9th grade and new students (not family members) as we need to keep group numbers as low as possible. This sign up is being sent to students and families to make sure that everyone sees it but only students should sign up.

Fill out this sign up to select a day and time (April 13th from 10am-1pm or April 14th from 1pm to 4pm).

On the day of your tour, please bring a printout of your EHS class schedule (with room numbers) and a writing utensil.

We can't wait to see you here!

Email Christine Everson or Kyle Snell if you have any questions

Show your EHS Team Pride! The EHS Wolfpack Association is once again proud to sponsor this online EHS store- use the link below to place your order.

March 31st is Trans Visibility Day. “Rachel Crandall, the head of Transgender Michigan, created this day after recognizing that many media outlets only report on stories of violence experienced by transgender and gender non-conforming people. She hoped to create a day where people could focus on celebrating success and helping transgender people feel empowered.”

This month we already highlighted the important role women have played in athletics as a way to both celebrate those achievements and shed light on the inequality women still face in the athletic field. Today we do the same. While women should be celebrated every day and all day, there are attempts (such as the bills in the article) preventing trans girls from participating in girls' sports. Young girls are among the most vulnerable due to lack of gender affirming resources and increase in discrimination. During Women's History Month, Eastlake continues to affirm that Trans girls are girls and Trans women are women.

Join us in bringing visibility to the joys and triumphs of girls and women

And join us in the fight to bring full gender equality

Finally, as a follow up to our last two segments, we invite everyone to stay in the fight against Anti-Asian Hate. Here is a list of events to get involved.

Hello Wolves! There is a new club at Eastlake called the Asian Cultural Club. Our purpose is to help educate students about the many different Asian cultures in the world. We will learn about their cultural celebrations and how their impacts have helped the world today. In light of recent events against Asian Americans, we would like to create a safe space for people to talk about what's on their mind. We will be having our first meeting in Friday April 16 at 4PM to express feelings and thoughts on these issues, and discuss club direction and how the club can support the Eastlake community. If you would like to join us, head to https://tinyurl.com/ehsACCSignup.
