Eagle Run is Coming Up!
Join us Saturday, September 9th from 8-10AM in the south parking lot for a run, fun and fellowship.
Breakfast burritos and kolaches will be provided, and the 8th graders will be selling coffee, juice and donuts.
THE EAGLE RUN IS GOING GREEN! We are not going to be supplying single use plastic water bottles. What does that mean? BRING A WATER BOTTLE. We will have water jugs out for refills. Don't want to bring a water bottle? Buy an Eagle Run branded reusable water bottle at the run! Limited supply, so make sure you are on time!
Haven't registered? Don't worry, you can still register at the run. A limited number of t-shirts will also be for sale the morning of the run.
Procedures - Pro Tip!
Don't forget, you are also required to report absences to homeroom teachers and the office by 9am EACH day of absence. See handbook for more details.
Academic Bowl
Register your 3rd-8th grade child to participate in Academic Bowl for 2023-24. More info on our Academic Bowl page. Practices begin in September/October depending on coach's schedule. Registration closes September 8th.
Participation fee is $25 per student, which will be billed through FACTS incidental accounts in October. This helps cover the cost of registration. No child will be turned away if they cannot pay the fee. Please contact Kim Hattaway with questions.
We have head coaches for 4th, and 5th/6th. If you are interested in being a coach or assistant coach for 3rd-8th, please indicate your interest on the registration form, or contact Kim Hattaway.
