Eastern Local Schools held its annual Veteran's Day Program on Monday, November 10th. Students K-12 were able to hear from Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Jonathan Bissell, Eastern Alum and guest speaker, who served 32 years in our nation’s Army. Additionally members from VFW 9053 were present, posted colors, and also other VFW members were present as well. It was a terrific and engaging program for all grade levels. We would like to extend a thank you to all Veterans past and present for their service and sacrifice.

Weather-Related Closings and Delays Reminder

As we look ahead to colder weather, I want to remind everyone of the ways Eastern Local communicates school closings, delays, and early dismissals.

Our official sources for information are:

The Eastern Local School District website

The Eastern Local app

Our district social media pages

The all-call phone system and text alerts

If you ever have a doubt about whether school is delayed or closed, please check those sources first. Communicating with news and radio stations can be challenging—especially when those decisions are made early in the morning while traveling back roads with limited cell service—so our direct communication channels are always the most accurate and up to date.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Stay safe and warm,
Nick Dettwiller
Superintendent, Eastern Local School District

See the attached images for the Heritage Community Clinic that provides free, quality primary care for Meigs County twice a month.

See attached flyer for details on how to pre register.

This is a reminder to all parents and guardians that no cars should be parked behind the school past the weight room or the “Staff Parking Only” sign in the afternoons.
For the safety of our students, please do not park or wait in that area during pick-up times. Students frequently exit the building there, and keeping this area clear helps ensure everyone’s safety.
You are welcome to walk to the doors to meet your student and accompany them to your vehicle in the main parking area.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued support in keeping our students safe.

This Saturday, WMOV 93.1 FM The Wolf and the Food Pantry at the Mulberry Community Center in Pomeroy are teaming up for a Pop-UP Food Drive and they are counting on our community to come together and make a difference!

From 9:00 a.m. until Noon at the Mulberry Center, you can drop off non-perishable food items to help local families in need. With the reduction in SNAP benefits, the federal shutdown and the rising cost of food, the demand for pantry assistance is higher than ever this year.

Every can, box, and bag makes a difference. Please take a few minutes out of your Saturday to help support your neighbors and ensure no one in Meigs County goes hungry this season.

Let's show the strength of our community!
