We also want to extend our heartfelt congratulations to senior Ranajoy Gupta, a computer science student and member of FBLA. Ranajoy had the incredible opportunity to attend the NJ Governor's School of Engineering and Technology over the summer. During his time at Governor's school, Ranajoy and his team undertook a research project that they subsequently submitted for publication. We are immensely proud to share that their work was accepted and they have been invited to present at the IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference in October. Ranajoy's achievement is truly amazing!
In other news, the Cape Atlantic Unified Sports season began with two thrilling games against Mainland and Cedar Creek. In their first game against Mainland, the Eagles showed remarkable resilience, battling back from a 0-3 deficit to end the game in a thrilling 3-3 tie. The Unified Eagles continued their winning streak in the second game against Cedar Creek, with some excellent goalkeeping and a last-minute goal, securing a 4-3 victory. The Unified team is gearing up for their next match on Tuesday, October 3, at 11 a.m. at Cedar Creek.
Additionally, our Tennis team celebrated Senior Day by honoring their five outstanding seniors. The team achieved an impressive 5-0 sweep against OLMA, making it a fantastic way to honor and celebrate our seniors.
Next week, services will be held for Social Studies teacher, Mr. Winkler. The visitation hours will be on Monday evening from 4 - 8 p.m. and Tuesday morning from 9 - 11 a.m., with a service to follow. For more details, please visit https://www.wimbergfuneralhome.com/.
On Wednesday, October 4, the Athletic Department will host "Meet the Winter Coaches Night" in the auditorium. If you have any questions about this event, please contact Mr. Rutledge at rutledgek@eht.k12.nj.us. This evening is an excellent opportunity to learn more about our winter sports programs and the expectations for the upcoming season. We hope to see you there!
Thursday, October 5, the girls Winter Track Team will hold an interest meeting in Ms. Vazquez's room (E110) immediately after school. Students in attendance will have the option to take the 3:20 bus home after the meeting. If you have any questions about this meeting, please feel free to email Ms. Vazquez at vasqueze@eht.k12.nj.us.
Finally, on Tuesday, October 3, we will have a half-day for High School students only. This decision was made to provide adequate teacher coverage so staff members can attend Mr. Winkler's services. We know this half day may be difficult for students involved in afterschool activities and sports. Coaches and advisors will communicate with the students the plan established for students with transportation difficulties. We understand that schedule changes can be inconvenient and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and flexibility in this matter.
We look forward to a fantastic #EHT Pride festival and hope to see you at these upcoming events!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Ms. Carugno
