We hope everyone had a good summer and start of the 23/24 school year!! As a club, we're excited to have started sign-ups and are eager to get back to practice to see what our season has in store for us. We realize that some people don't fully understand what archery does for our students. Archery is the longest-running sport in school that runs from November (when we start practice) to May. So dedication by the parents, kids, and of course coaches is something to appreciate. As a program, we can provide kids with the equipment needed to participate so no additional cost is expected past the club dues ($40). We have an amazing group of students and are excited every year when new kids decide to give archery a try. Just like other programs, we do some fundraising to ensure the kids have a successful season. Our fundraising opportunities cover fees for tournaments and new equipment to assure the safety of our archers. In the fall we partner with an amazing sponsor (Baum Lumber) to provide raffle prizes to help with the cost of equipment to keep the program running smoothly. Now through November 8th (drawing held on November 15th), each archer is selling raffle tickets for some amazing prizes the hunter in your life would appreciate. We have Millennium L-110 21' single stand Pelican 30 quart Elite Cooler Delta McKenzie 3D target Wicked Ridge M-370 with Acudraw crossbow Feedbank 600 Feeder All proceeds support our archers this upcoming season. If anyone would like to help support these kids please contact an archery club member, parent, coach, or our coordinator Jezare' Brooks. Each ticket is $10 with 5 chances to win per ticket. Also if your child has any questions or shows interest in becoming an archer we are still doing sign-ups. You can contact a parent or coach for more information on times of signups. Or as always contact our coordinator. Thank you to everyone who supports us as we approach this next season!

Tonight's 7th and 8th grade Volleyball games will be played in the High School gym, followed by JV and Varsity. 7th grade will start at 5:30pm. Gates will open at 4:30pm.

On Friday 9/29 all Juniors and Seniors will attend the Meigs County Job Fair. The bus will leave at 9:30am. If you have already prepared a resume, it would be a good idea to bring a few copies.

Attention Eastern Junior Class: This is Ben Reed with the Farmers Bank, and we are excited to announce a relaunching of the Farmers Bank Junior Board of Directors program! This program takes juniors from Eastern, Meigs, Mid-Valley Christian School, Southern, and Wahama and teaches them financial literacy and the key building blocks for running a business. The meetings are monthly, starting in October and run through April. We believe that the program has offered tremendous value for students, and we are excited to take it in a new direction this year. In past years, the program was geared towards running a bank. However, this year, we are excited to reshape the program more into a Shark Tank model. The students will be tasked with creating a viable business that would fit the local market. Additionally, we are planning on having a few local entrepreneurs come to the meetings to share their experiences with the group. Our hope is that this will change the previous format that a was a bit lecture heavy into a more interactive experience for the students. Any prospective junior wishing to be part of the Farmer's Bank Jr. Board of Directors needs to pick up an application in the high school office. Applications are due by October 2nd at 2:30pm and must be turned in directly to Mrs. Pore. Approximately five junior students from Eastern Jr./Sr. High School will be selected.
