Hey archery family! Sorry about this last-minute change. However, the meeting will have to be moved due to the football team moving forward in the playoffs. The game is on Friday, and the school carnival is on Saturday. So we would love to see you all at the new time of Sunday, November 5th, at 3 pm. Also, remember that ALL MONEY and ALL TICKETS SOLD AND UNSOLD will need to be returned at that time. We will be doing the last sign-up at that time ($40). We will also go over the schedule for practices and tournaments. If you need anything in the meantime. Please get ahold of us and we will be happy to help best I can.

We are so proud of our Eastern Students, Addi Well and Danielle Epple, for being the only keynote student speakers at the Ohio High School Athletic Association Leadership Conference this Tuesday at Athens High School. They spoke to over 130 high school students about their participation in the AHA! Mental Health Summit from spring of 2023 and how they have developed their leadership skills and public speaking confidence. We were able to take roughly 20 of our finest student-athletes to hear from several high level and motivational speakers about the importance of leadership in sport and life. I'm extremely proud of our Eagles for representing our school and community with pride. Go Eagles!

Eastern students learned about leadership, advocacy, and research in their first session at The Ohio State University Student Leadership Research Collaborative. This year our year two students will be working with the Ohio School Boards Association while our year one students work to tackle another problem-solution complex to better our school and community. Our kids are really working to take ownership of their school by developing a strong leadership voice. Today they learned six things about leadership: Leadership is imagination You must be authentic Strength is key Learn to teach Value the people you're around Leadership is appreciation Our year two students met Dr. Kathy McFarland, the CEO and executive director of the Ohio School Board Association while our year two students learned about the YPAR process and problem solving. It's a great day to be an Eagle.
