Proud to be EV... Week of November 4-10, 2013

 As always, another great week has concluded at EV...

The basketball and wrestling seasons are ready to begin... ready for winter sports!

On Thursday night, the High School Vocal Music Concert took place. Our high school choir is taught by Denise Wade.

The Girls Glee performed several nice songs with some lovely solos...

Our foreign exchange student, Bo, gave a wonderful solo of "Hey Soul Sister"...

Anne and Audrey performed a duet from "Wicked" that was wonderful to listen to...

The Mixed Chorus also entertained the audience with a nice selection of music and solos...

I would like to thank everyone who was available to attend this event~

On Friday, Mrs. Colbert and I took a group of young ladies to the Kirkwood Community College High Tech Girls Day.

This was an excellent opportunity for our students to explore opportunities in the technology field.  Upon arrival, each student was given a free t-shirt and a 2GB flashdrive bracelet! One of the sessions focused on web design. This session was amazing, the students create their own web page within 40 minutes or less and saved this onto their flashdrive to build upon on their own.

Another session focused on Global Information Systems (GIS). Students learned to create digital maps.

The Interior Design Instructor asked that students stop by after they were finished eating their lunch. She described her program to the students and presented a portfolio created by one of her students. This is another exciting field that a student could potentially enter.

This was an exciting opportunity and we are looking forward to many more...

The "Spirit Assembly" this week was hosted by Mrs. Nachtman's Advisory Group. They had a competition that involved trying to get a certain amount of balls out of the middle of the gym floor and move them to the designated corners of the gym floor- this was no easy task! However, the students had a great time trying!

There was also a dance-off competition. The seniors won the first set, and the 7th grade won the second set.

Looking forward to next week...

Go EV Bears!
