ETHS Students Attend Brewer Game
On May 1 the Vocational Club, along with their Peer Mentors and 8th graders who will be joining us at the high school participated in a tailgate and Brewers game . It was a beautiful day out and now students that will be freshmen have some new connections at the high school. Some of the students played Brewer Bingo during the game. Winners took advantage of a great double play by the Brewers, and also an amazing RBI! Working together to purchase food, budget, and calculate orders were some of the many employability skills that were explored while planning this outing.
