Holly Hoffman spoke to the First and Third Grade classes today about her time on Survivor. Theo Hoffman, her grandson, wrote about Holly for a class project and she decided to visit our school. She left the classes with some things to remember: never give up, don't quit, have a good attitude, and keep trying- even if you don't win. Thank you Holly for spending the morning with us!

In order for our kids to get to school and be prepared for the program, the Veteran’s Day Program will start at 10:15 AM.

Eureka Public Schools will be starting at 10:00 AM tomorrow, Monday, November 14th. County and township roads are still very slick as of this evening and will more than likely be that way during the early morning hours. At the very least we want to provide more time for travel and the opportunity for that travel to be during daylight hours. Please contact you bus driver if you believe the bus should not be traveling in your area. Also, we ask that you use your discretion in determining the safest way for your child to get to school. Students, please wear Red, White, and Blue for the Veterans Day Program.

No open gym today in Eureka due to it being set up for the Veteran’s Day Program tomorrow.

The 4th and 5th Grade basketball games scheduled for tomorrow (Nov. 12th) in Aberdeen have been postponed. A make-up date has not yet been determined.

Due to icy roads, no school tomorrow, Friday, November 11th. The Veterans Day Program has been rescheduled on Monday, November 14th at 10:00 AM.
