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.

Nothing fishy here!  Your Green Bay East FFA invites both students & staff to come to help filet this year’s fish.  We start slicing on Wednesday, May 10, @ 3 pm.  Depending on the quality & quantities of the cuts, we hope to package these up, freeze, & donate a portion of the meat to a local food shelf, though we’ll have some for snack after all is cleaned up!  Reserve your spot with this link: http://bit.ly/eastfillet  Student permission form is linked on RSVP page or printed copies are in Mr. “Mark-cart”s room, 153.  Again: fish fileting, May 10 after school, must reserve through link!

May is Mental Health Month and here is your tip of the day: Make a wall or jar of gratitude where you write things you are thankful for, that bring you joy, or positively impact your mental health.

Today, May 5 is National Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Awareness Day. Indigenous women, girls, and 2-spirit are murdered at 10x higher rates than all other ethnicities and murder is the 3rd leading cause of death for Indigenous women according to the Centers for Disease Control. Today commemorates a time when the Indigenous community and its allies wear red and gather to remember, honor, and give voice to women whose stories have not been heard. We wear red for awareness. 

NHS members:  We will be having our last meeting of the year on Tuesday, May 9th.  7 am in room 309.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Garay or Mrs. McGrath.  New members are welcome to attend.
