Just a few reminders for the upcoming weeks Varsity Football Scrimmage is at home this Friday night at 6:00 pm vs. Alexander. Next Wednesday we will have team pictures for all fall sports except football. The golf team will travel to Waterford for their opening match and the Volleyball teams will be at Marietta for a Scrimmage.
I'd also like to take this time to remind everyone that physicals and pay to play forms are due. If your child does not have his or her physical and emergency medical forms turned in, they will not be allowed to participate until they are.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to reach out to me!
The Eastern local athletic department has had a contract with Memorial Health Systems the last 2 years for an athletic trainer, and they have been unable to find someone qualified to fill the position full time.
We have tried to work with all the local healthcare providers to get an athletic trainer and they either don’t have one available or are unwilling to contract with us. There are several other local schools in the same situation, and we want to do everything we can for our student athletes, including athletic training services.
In our rural community I feel like we are always reaching out for help from neighbors and we are doing just that.
If anyone knows someone interested in applying for the position through Memorial Health Systems, or anyone who would be willing to just put time in for specific sports or games, please reach out to us. At this point we are thinking we will have to think outside the box to provide some type of training services for our student athletes. If you have an idea, or a connection, or would be willing to do something part time, please reach out to us.
Below is the posting for Memorial Health Systems

We are very happy to let the families of Eastern know that the District will be providing classroom school supply kits for students K-12 for the 23-24 school year. The kits will include all essential items from each grade’s school supply list.
Families will need to supply backpacks, a personal refillable water bottle (if wanted) and gym shoes for each elementary child. There may be a few additional items that teachers request throughout the school year specific to their individual classroom needs. The school supply kits are scheduled to be available at Open House, August 24.
Please note there will be a flyer in the school supply kits with information about how families can help with learning loss. We hope these school supply kits will help ease the back to school financial burden for all families.
