Day 1

Good Morning East high school, it is a great day to be a Red Devil and these are your morning announcements. Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. 

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Do you like talking to people and finding out what is going on? Do you enjoy writing and secretly desire to see your name in print? Do you want to see what it’s like to be a journalist? Then SCHOOL NEWSPAPER is for you! We need people like YOU to tell the stories of East High. If you are interested, join us for our first informational meeting on Wednesday, September 21st after school in room 306. Email Mrs. Van Ess with any questions.

Hey Red Devils! Are you in need of some new apparel? Next week we will be pre-selling our new spirit design before school. We have T-shirts, long sleeve T-shirts, crewnecks, and hoodies available in red, black and gray. Grab a form from the main office and drop off the form and payment before school next week. Form is attached HERE as well.

Attention 9th, 10th, and 11th graders: Do you want to be your class representative on homecoming court? This means that you would represent your class at the pep rally, parade, game and at the dance. If so please stop in room 235 this week. You can stop before school or during passing time. 

Hey Students: Homecoming is in two weeks, but we have an event that you can help your class in the spirit competition. Instead of PowderPuff we are playing Kickball. So find a team of 10 people, 5 boys and 5 girls, and pick up a sign up form in the office. Games will be Monday September 26th on the football field under the lights. This is a student engagement event so grades and attendance count. That includes tardies. 

Do you want to be a part of one of the most successful teams at East. The academic decathlon team is looking for all types of abilities for our team. We need "A" students and we need smart kids that have not tried their hardest. If interested, stop in room 235 on Wednesday September 21st for a brief meeting. The state meet has been held at the Wisconsin Dells and we have gone to state the last 8 years!

Is there a teacher, monitor, or other staff member you’d like to show your appreciation for. Every school year East’s National Honors Society runs its Guardian Angel program where each member chooses an East staff member to show their appreciation for. Once again this year the Guardian Angel program will be open to all students who are interested. So if you have someone in mind, hurry and see Mr. Garay in room 110 or Mrs. McGrath in room 234 to learn the rules and claim your staff member.
