Thanks for all the support during this year's chocolate fundraiser, lots of $ came in this week! Tomorrow is the last official day and prizes will be guven Monday!
Our ECHS Owls participated in Sources of Strength last Friday at the CTC. Sources of Strength is a best practice youth suicide prevention project designed to harness the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing suicide, bullying, and substance abuse. The mission of Sources of Strength is to prevent suicide by increasing help seeking behaviors and promoting connections between peers and caring adults. #WatchUsSoar
ECHS Sources of Strength Peer Leader's Training was last Friday where students learned how to use and offer sources of strength to those in need of help.
Friday is the deadline for our chocolate fundraiser competition! Get your $ in!. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners!
Coming along!

Don't forget, Twin Day tomorrow!
Go Gold Week continues at ECHS. Today we stomp out cancer as we continue to take donations for children fighting cancer!
The first Booster Club meeting of the year is today, Tuesday 9/12, at 5:30 PM in the ECHS Cafeteria. Students of parents who attend will receive a "Drop your lowest grade" pass for any High School class. Hope to see you there!
Please remember, for the safety and security of all, to follow these precautions:
1. Wear your badge in a place where your face in the picture is visible at all times
2. Refrain from opening outside doors for others
3. Enter and exit through the front and back doors ONLY
4. NEVER leave a door propped open
5. Keep classroom doors locked at all times
Thank you
If you still haven't picked up chocolate or paid $120; please do so. As we have said many times, this fund raiser is non-negotiable for all ECHS students each year to help offset the cost of testing for all students. If there is an urgent reason why a student cannot participate and sell their 2 boxes, they need to speak with Mrs. Hortman. The last day for the competition for those who want to win the gift cards is September 29! If you have already taken chocolate, we have to have the money by that date as well. Thank you for your help!
