November 5 PTSA Board Meeting Changed to ONLINE
Here’s the online link for Nov. 5 at 7 p.m.
Calling all techies! Come be a part of making the magic happen!
The Mary Poppins production needs approximately 25 energetic and dedicated technical crew members to help prepare and run the show. Roles include:
- Assistance with finding and making sets and props
- Running sound and lights during the show
- Set changes during the show
- Managing props and costumes during the show
- Handing out programs, working the bake sale and general house management
Please sign up HERE by Friday, Nov. 1.
Once sign-ups are complete, we will assign roles and be in touch via email. Please know that we will make every effort to assign roles based on personal preference, but all jobs are vital and we will fill positions where help is most needed. All crew will be required to attend rehearsals and the show in January. Those dates are:
- Rehearsals after school during the weeks of January 13 and January 20
- Performances on January 25, 26, and 29
Most crew will not be needed prior to those dates. The only exception will be those who want to help in making sets/props — we may arrange after-school work sessions on some Wednesdays in November/December and possibly a Saturday in January — those dates are TBD depending on interest/need and will be communicated via email.
Fall general PTSA meeting
Please join us at our first PTSA general meeting of the year on October 21 at 7 p.m. in the Commons at Eagle Staff. All are welcome! We will conduct a little PTSA business, introduce the board, give an overview of what the PTSA does, and let you know how to become a member. After this, we’ll open it up to a Q&A with Principal Stowell. We hope to see you all there! Questions? Email [email protected].
Picture Day Details
Picture day is coming up on Monday, Oct. 14. The time students will be photographed is TBD.
Families can pre-order portrait packages. Just include your email address and select your package. Separate orders are required for each student.
Printed pre-orders will be shipped directly to families approximately three weeks after Picture day. Digital orders will be sent via email.
Retake day is scheduled for Monday, November 18.
Cleat Closet
We need cleats! Cleats are expensive and kids’ feet are growing fast. We’re starting up a Cleat Closet as part of the Ravens Care Closet. We would love to have enough cleats available so that any student who needs a pair can find one that fits. So, if you have a pair of outgrown gently worn cleats, please consider donating them to Eagle Staff. If your student needs a pair, please contact Laura Kunen or your child’s coach to see if we have the right size. Cleats can be donated in the main office in the green box labeled “Ravens Care Closet.” Thank you!
Yearbook pre-orders are open Sept. 16–27
Pre-orders help us determine how many copies to order this year and also guarantees that your student will receive a book when they arrive in June.
There will be two opportunities to purchase a yearbook this year.
- Sept. 16-Sept. 27 and
- Dec. 2‑Dec. 13
With a sturdy hardcover and 80 full-color pages, our Ravens yearbook is a great way to remember classmates, sporting events, spirit weeks, assemblies and more!
The cost of each yearbook is $25. There will be a link available on SchoolPay to pay by credit card, (look at your history in SchoolPay to confirm your payment) or you can bring a check or cash into the office during these timeframes. For a partial or full scholarship, please contact your child’s grade-level counselor.
Any general questions, please contact Kathy Saxon, yearbook advisor.
