Senior Pitches have begun!
7 of the Seniors presented their Senior Project plans today and they were great! We heard about building a robot to help the blind, cleaning up a creek, volunteering in a hospital NICU, teaching little kids about science and doing experiments with them, starting a peer support group on campus, educating people about what food banks need and helping people in need with nutrition, participating in a fire academy and working with children on fire safety. Jewel, Trinity, Joel H., Jaski, Nikki, Olivia, and Macen really set the bar high! I can't wait to hear what the other senior students have been planning.
Today Ms. Kandahari joined the panel to hear the pitches. We are looking for other interested parents to participate. If you are able to attend one of the sessions and help give students feedback on their pitches, please let me know.
Next week the pitches take place Monday 1:00-3:00, Wednesday 1:00-3:00, and Friday 10:00-11:00 all in Mr. Voyce's classroom 1642.
ECHS Parent Group
On Tuesday, the ECHS Parent Group met for the second time from 2:00-3:00. This group provides a chance for parents to come and meet with me to hear directly about what is going on at ECHS, give feedback, and help plan future events. If you would like to come, our next meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 14 from 2:00-3:00 in room 1635.
Trunk or Treat
ECHS students will be participating in Trunk or Treat this year on Monday, Oct. 30 from 5:00-7:30 at the Fairfield-Suisun Adult School. This is an event put on by FSUSD where kids in the community have a safe place to come and trick or treat.
*We are collecting candy donations to give out to children.

There will be general PTSO business toward the end of the meeting. The PTSO is looking for more parents to join. The cost is $10 per family (you don't have to pay to attend the Senior meeting).

Homecoming
It's almost 5:00 so that's all from me today on the blog. I need to head over to the Homecoming football game at RHS.
Tomorrow night I will be at the Homecoming dance as well from 7:00-10:00. We sold just under 100 tickets to ECHS students. It will be great to see the students at both the game and dance.
Have a great weekend everyone!
