If you read yesterday’s online announcements you know that this week we are celebrating National School Counseling Week. Yesterday, you read about how a school counselor’s job is to help you be successful and work toward your dreams. But did you know that Mrs. Schlemmer AND Mrs. Straw achieved one of their dreams just by being your school counselors? It’s true. Mrs. Straw says “My goal was to become a school counselor so I could support students like you. And I couldn’t be happier to be here. Every day is different, but I can tell you that I get tremendous joy in seeing you succeed. Thank you EJHS for helping us make our dreams come true! Have a great Tuesday!
The Colts wrestling team beat OV with a score of 54-47. Winning for the Colts: Ezra Cappa, Jaxon Kerr, Jayden Abel, Eli Silvernail, Hunter Neidigh, Dylan Foster, Jaden Lucas, Tobey Connors, Lincoln Getts, Kamin Strunk, Parker Bennett
The Colts will wrestle at home this Thursday against North Clay.
Colt swimmers and divers had their first meet last night and though they lost to Indian Creek, all of our athletes did amazing and learned a lot. Notable performances were Anthony Straw in the 200 and 100, Jillian Cowden and Sam Kohne in the 400, Arlyn Moorman in the fly and back, Annalise Emmons in diving, and Alice Musselwhite and Ryder Colford in the 200!
Swimmers also remember that today you will need to get on Bus 24 at the first bell to go to the high school for practice.
