                Thanks for setting a great example for EMS!!

I want to start by thanking Darion Hammond for displaying such a great example of citizenship.  Darion found and turned in a substantial amount of money and the rightful owner was located.  It is situations like this that reinforce what great students we have at El Dorado Springs.  We are extremely proud of Darion.  We are on the down hill side of our school year.  It is hard to believe that we only have four weeks remaining.  I enjoyed watching our middle school track students compete last night in our track meet.  Great job to all of those students.  Remember that 8th grade recognition is on May 18 at 7:30 p.m. in the high school gym.  Continue to work hard in the classroom so we can finish the school year strong.  Have a great week.

MAP testing is complete!!!  I have received positive feedback from the teachers regarding the effort that the students put into testing.  Congratulations to our middle school choir program for earning two 1+ ratings at Fort Scott last weekend.  That is outstanding!!!  Congratulations to the sixth grade band program for earning a 2 rating at Nevada last weekend.  Great Job!!!  The El Dorado Springs middle school track meet is on Monday, April 26th.  Our track teams have been performing well, keep it up.  What great weather we are having.  This is a great time of year to get outside and enjoy your surroundings.  My wife, daughters and I have been planting flowers and shrubs around our house and have enjoyed our time outdoors.  We have less than five weeks remaining in the 2009-2010 school year.  Continue to work diligently at keeping your grades up.  Have a great week.

One week down and one week to go with MAP testing.  I want to encourage all students to make sure they are getting plenty of sleep at night and eating a good breakfast.  Remember, on MAP testing days breakfast is provided free of charge to all students.  Our track teams will travel to Nevada on Thursday for their only meet of the week.  Middle school choir students will be competing in a choral competition at Fort Scott on Saturday and our sixth grade band will participate in the Nevada Band Festival on Saturday.  Good luck to those students.  Have a great week.
