Tonight's the big night for grades 9 through 12 -- the FALL FRENZY DANCE at EHS! Time for the high school kids to have some fun as the first quarter winds down. Meantime, the 7th and 8th graders were happy to celebrate Halloween this week, wearing their costumes while enjoying cider and donuts (sponsored by the PTSA).

It's not too early to start your holiday shopping! Basketball fans in your family? Get them the gift of Knicks tickets! And there’s something for everyone in our holiday catalogue! Shop and support the PTSA at the same time, all from the convenience of your computer! Remember, when you support the PTSA, you are supporting all of our EHS students. See details below.

Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend. Don't forget to set your clock back and enjoy that extra hour of sleep!

Don't forget Election Day is this coming Tuesday, November 7. It may not be a presidential race but every election counts! Do your civic duty and vote!

Please reach out any time with your comments, questions, or suggestions.
