It is my pleasure to announce the finals of Eureka High School’s 3rd annual Poetry Out Loud competition. Poetry Out Loud is a national competition sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation that has been running since 2006. Each year, Poetry Out Loud awards more than $50,000 in prizes and school stipends at the national level.
The EHS AVID club organized a celebration at Eureka High School on December 17 for Hmong New Year. The college bound AVID students brought in homemade Hmong dishes to share, and performed traditional dances for the audience.
The Eureka High School Student Government Class, in conjunction with the Intra-Club Council, recently organized the annual Thanksgiving Basket Program. Thirteen Eureka High School clubs gathered items for seventeen Thanksgiving Baskets that held all the necessary items for a fabulous Thanksgiving Feast including vegetables, mashed potatoes, desserts, and a gift certificate to be used to purchase a ham or turkey. These baskets were donated to the Marshall Family Resource Center and were distributed to families whose children attend a Eureka City Schools school. The clubs that participated include: The Marine Biology Club, FFA, EAST, Interact, The German Club, YEAH, The Multicultural Club, The Drama Club, The Journalism Club, The Media Club, DECA, AVID, and The Native American Club.
