Don't Miss Our First Play of the Year!
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy play written by William Shakespeare. The play is set in Athens, and consists of several subplots that revolve around the marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta. One subplot involves a conflict among four Athenian lovers. Another follows a group of six amateur actors rehearsing the play which they are to perform before the wedding. Both groups find themselves in a forest inhabited by fairies who manipulate the humans and are engaged in their own domestic intrigue. The play is one of Shakespeare's most popular and is widely performed.
Only two performances left:
Friday, October 6, 2023 and Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 7 PM each evening.

In an effort to get more students at EHS involved in activities, we are proud to present the EHS activity fair in the commons during lunches on Monday-Wednesday. We currently have over 30 groups represented. Studies have been conducted on the relationship between extracurricular activities and academic performance, and they all show that students who participate in them have higher grades, more positive attitudes toward school and higher academic aspirations. Please encourage your student to checkout all of the activities offered at EHS and get involved!
This week the senior class members nominated classmates for Difference Makers.
Difference Makers are students who have demonstrated commitment to EHS programs, community programs and service efforts. Senior class members voted for a number of candidates. The following 21 seniors were chosen as Difference Makers in the school and community. They will be honored at the pep fest on October 12th and at the Homecoming football game on October 13th.

Work Opportunity with High School Students
The EHS AVID program is looking to hire one additional AVID tutor.
We are seeking adults (18+) to work with high school students four mornings a week. This might include current college students, retirees, or anyone who has a desire to work with students directly.
Hours: Mondays-Thursdays; 7:30-9:30 AM
Pay: About $18 an hour
Duration: 2023-24 school year (and possibly following years)
AVID students engage in tutorials during the AVID class hour. The role of the adult tutor is to be a group facilitator who helps guide the students through their confusion and help them help one another. The tutor does not need to be an expert in a given field of study. New tutors will be provided online AVID training.
Interested parties should contact Mr. Stacy Jameson at stacy.jameson@district196.org
