Eastern Local School District

National School Bus Safety Week this Week, Oct 16 - 20.

Congratulations to all Eastern senior Fall sports athletes we had the opportunity to celebrate over the past week!

A couple excellent upcoming events!

Hello archery family! 👋 The end of the fall raffle is approaching fast. We appreciate everyone who has participated! On November 3rd at 6 pm in the archery building, we will have our first parents meeting. As most of you know, we don't have seating for everyone so please bring a chair unless you would like to stand. At that time, we ask that all remaining raffle tickets be turned in. We will need ALL SOLD AND UNSOLD tickets to be returned. Also, ALL MONEY is due with the tickets. We are also aware that some people may have not signed up for this season. You may also know of other parents interested in signing up their kids. This meeting will be our LAST sign-up of the season. The club dues are required at the time of sign-up and are $40 this year. As always parent involvement is super important for club and archer success. So if you are able we would love to have a full house for this parents' meeting. All by-laws, rules, practice times, and available tournament information will be given at this meeting. Parent meetings help ensure that parents and coaches have an open dialog and help everyone stay on the same page. We hope to see everyone there! Have your questions/concerns ready! With parents and coaches on the same page with amazing communication, our Eagles are sure to soar!!! 🦅🎯🏹

We would like to congratulate our 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams on their undefeated seasons this year! Both 7th grade and 8th grade teams finished the regular season with a 20-0 record! Congratulations Girls!
