Hello Eagle families,
It's been a busy few weeks around Ernestown, with our Academic Awards earlier in the month, our Remembrance Day Ceremony this week featuring performances from students and staff, and several field trips. We have several students working towards earning their literacy graduation requirement through the Ontario Secondary School Literacy test next week.
Amherstview Santa Claus Parade- Best Band
Way to go EISS Band! Ernestown's Band represented our community last Sunday in the Santa Claus Parade winning best band at the Parade! Special Shout out to Mike Walhout for supporting and driving the float for our band. Way to go Eagles!
Ernestown Clothing is Back- Open on School Day Until November 20
Thanks to Ms. Lawlor, we have several Ernestown products available, including hoodies, quarter-zips, crewnecks, and t-shirts! Orders are now up on School-Day and will close on November 20th, so be sure to get your orders in!
Hands-On Learning in Intermediate!
Our Intermediate students have been busy learning by doing! Students sharpened their knife skills while making nachos before moving into the big kitchen to prepare apple crisp in French, using their new vocabulary to read the recipe and communicate along the way. Mme Lamarre's Grade 8 scientists also headed to the high school lab to explore the burning rates of two different types of candles, then graphed and analyzed their results.
Arts Council in Action!
Our Arts Council has been busy! Their Haunted House was a frighteningly fun success, raising over $50 and collecting two overflowing boxes of non-perishable food for the Food Bank. Thank you to everyone who came out, supported the cause, and braved the scares!
Next up is our Coffeehouse on Thursday, November 26 at 6:30 p.m. Admission is by donation, and everyone is invited to come out for an evening celebrating the incredible talent here at EISS!
