The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

Directed by Nichela Urbanciz

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a heartwarming play based on the novel by Kate DiCamillo. It follows the story of Edward Tulane, a proud and selfish porcelain rabbit who embarks on a transformative journey after being lost at sea. Through his adventures, Edward encounters various characters and experiences love, loss, and self-discovery. As he learns to care for others, Edward's emotional growth turns him into a more compassionate and humble being. The play explores themes of love, change, and the importance of connection.

A National Letter of Intent is a big deal in the world of sports. It's basically a fancy way of saying that an athlete has agreed to play sports for a specific college or university in return for a scholarship.

Wednesday, February 5, 2025, was a day to remember for six talented athletes from EHS. This was the day when they made it official by signing their National Letters of Intent. These guys are headed to play collegiate athletics at the D-I and D-II levels, representing Eagan HS with pride.

Let's give a huge round of applause to Jackson Thomas, Josie Seehafer, Ava Ligtenberg, Brooklyn Evans, Adam Dorsey, and Lilah Bartels. Eagan HS is beaming with pride for our future sports superstars!

Last Saturday, 1/31 the Eagan Eastview Alpine team participated in the annual Afton Invitational, and they had some great results!

Courtney Bumpers finished 1st in the women's varsity race and earned the coveted spot of Varsity Queen of the Hill. She is also going to compete in the State Tournament on Monday, February 10th.

JV Boys took 3rd place in team results. Eagan skiers include Jack Corcoran, Joseph Morrow, Owen Messerich, and Gavin Morrow

Roll Cats!

We walked away from the meet in Northfield with 2 golds, 4 silvers, and 1 bronze and also broke 3 state records!

Stone Larson broke his own snatch and total records this meet, AND also finally broke his weight class's clean & jerk record. He now owns all 3 records at the JV level and the Varsity level for the 81KG class.

Medals:

Gold: Stone Larson/Lila Volovsek

Silver: Sawyer Haglund/Indigo Benner/Kylie Vavrosky/Evan Davis

Bronze: Grant Paulsen

Notables:

- Peyton Grandbois hit a 190 KG total. USAW just released the new weight classes and national qualifier totals during our meet. He needs a 191 KG total to qualify for nationals now.

The Unified Basketball team is going to State on Tuesday Feb. 11th. We will not have fan busses because of the late games but we still want to encourage people to come out and cheer on the Unified Basketball team! Location: Target Center, no tickets needed.

NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY. In rugby, everybody plays, everybody carries the ball, and everybody tackles. Rugby suits all body shapes and sizes, and teaches explosiveness, decision-making, and agility. Rugby is the only spring sport that teaches safe and highly effective tackling to improve football player performance and avoid injury. We are an ISD district club sport, meaning Varsity players may earn their letter.

Practice begins on Saturday, March 1st with our free TRY RUGBY event, from 1-2PM followed by our first practice from 3-4PM at the West St. Paul Dome. The season runs through the end of the school year. More information, including registration links, may be found HERE.
