Cleat Closet

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

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.
