Ringing the Bells

Four years ago multiple schools in the district starting participating in a "Ringing the Bells" event in support of the Salvation Army.  This turned in to a friendly competition to see which school or district office staff group could bring in the most money.  Early College won in 2016 and has won each year since!  Tomorrow we will be out in front of Macy's (upstairs) ringing the bells from 10:00am-6:00pm.  We are trying to win the trophy for the 4th year in a row!  If you are able to come by the mall and drop off your spare change or even drop off a check to the Salvation Army come on by!  Leadership students will be out every hour rain or shine along with an adult supervisor.  My shift is 10:00-12:00 and then Ms. Harris, Ms. Freitas, Ms. Staggs, and Ms. Nance will be out there with the students.  Come on by and see us!  We are happy to help the Salvation Army in support of our local community.  



Night Rally/Dance at RHS
Next Friday, December 13th, there will be an after school rally followed by the dance from 6:00-9:00pm at Rodriguez High School.  There will be performances and activities for the first hour, followed by a free two hour dance.  All ECHS students are invited and encouraged to attend.  There is no cost but students need the permission slip signed.  All students have been emailed the permission slip and we will have some in the ECHS office on Monday.



Finals

College finals are right around the corner followed by high school class finals.  We strongly encourage students to use the SCC tutoring center for help with college classes and attend SAS Monday and Thursday from 3:00-4:00pm for help with their high school classes.

We will also have our Cocoa and Cram event on Dec. 17th where the teachers will all be staying after school for a couple hours to help students with some last minute studying.  I will have more information regarding this event in next week's blog.

 Power Outage Friday morning sure was interesting at ECHS!  We went from extremely hot weather earlier in the week to a colder Friday morning with some rain, lightning, and thunder.  We were without power on parts of the campus for the zero period, first period, and part of the 3rd period.  We did our best by moving a couple classes into the cafeteria, using natural light, and placing emergency flashlight lanterns in classrooms.  I really appreciate the patience and flexibility demonstrated by our staff and students.   National Suicide Prevention Day Friday was National Suicide Prevention Day.  Daily Reminder cards were passed out to students with positive messages.  Students and staff also wore teal and purple to show support.   We are very excited to announce that we will be bringing Kaiser Permanente's Ghosted program to ECHS for the first time later this semester.  Ghosted is a program that reduces stigma and encourages ope...

Class of 2019 On Thursday many of the seniors wore shirts from the colleges they will be attending in the fall.  We are so proud of all the seniors for all their hard work in the program! Senior Project Showcase Today was our second annual ECHS Senior Project Showcase.  The seniors worked all year on their projects and today they spent the day sharing what they did with the younger ECHS students, parents, teachers, and community members.  The students did an excellent job presenting their work!  If you weren't able to make it out here is brief summary of each student's project.
