LET'S BRING THE THUNDER!
There's no doubt we have one of the best cheering sections around! Thunder fans we need you to show up as our Thunder volleyball team heads to Faulkton Tuesday, November 6th to take on the Faulkton Trojans at 7:00 PM for our Region 6B game! Eureka will be providing a fan bus for those that want to ride! The cost is $3 per person (adult or student). Fans will need to sign up in the Eureka School office by NOON on Monday, November 4th! There will need to be a minimum of 10 fans signed up for the fan bus to happen! If Bowdle or Edmunds Central fans would like to possibly ride the bus, please call the Eureka school office and you will be put on a list as we want to make sure we have room. The fan bus will leave Eureka at 5:00 PM and head home directly after the game. The cost of the game is $6 adults and $4 students. Fans will be responsible to pay their own way into game.
Local businesses let's show some Thunder spirit by decorating windows to wish our Thunder good luck!!!
GO THUNDER!!!
The Eureka School Board will hold a special board meeting with the Bowdle School Board tomorrow, October 29th in Eureka. The Eureka Board will meet at 5:00 PM in the board meeting room to hold an executive session and then meet with the Bowdle Board at 5:30 PM in the Multi-Purpose Room. We will then give a tour to the Bowdle School Board of the facility and then have a discussion with their board about a potential joint powers agreement. This is not a town hall style meeting, this is a meeting between the boards to discuss the potential for an agreement. If Bowdle chooses to continue discussion with the Eureka School District, we will then hold a town hall meeting in the future to address questions from patrons.
