It is that time of year where we are busy making plans for the 2017-18 school year. Part of these plans include administrative assignments and this year we have some transitions I want to bring to your attention. Please keep in mind that all of these transitions are for next fall.
“Take the School Breakfast Challenge” Encourages Eureka City Schools’ Students to Choose Breakfast at School
Busy weekday mornings make it a challenge for families to find time for a healthy breakfast. However, US Department of Agriculture data show that more students are starting their day with a nutritious breakfast in their school cafeterias. To encourage more families to take advantage of the healthy choices available with school breakfast, Eureka City Schools will recognize National School Breakfast Week during March 6-10, 2017.
The National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) campaign theme, “School Breakfast Challenge,” reminds the entire school community that school breakfast provides a healthy, energizing start to the day. Elementary students are encouraged to “Take the Challenge” from March 6-10 with special promotions, and decorations in the cafeteria. We will have a fun give-away each day at Washington, Lafayette, Alice Birney, and Grant.
Nine college athletes and 2 college coaches visited Eureka High on Friday, March 3, to talk to the EHS college bound AVID sophomores. HSU Softball coach, Hannah Jones, and CR Football coach, Andrew Aiello, joined 4 HSU women soccer players and 4 CR football players in a panel to help the EHS AVID students prepare to succeed in college academics and athletics. The high school students got a clear picture of a day in the life of a college athlete, and how demanding it is to balance their class schedule with their practice, conditioning and study hall schedules.
