On Monday, October 9 from 9-2 p.m. at FMS (in the gym) there will be a blood drive in honor of Ruby. Ruby was diagnosed with inoperable Stage III, Group III embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma which is a nasal cavity cancer. This type of cancer affects about 250 children a year in the US. Donating blood can help patients like Ruby maintain healthier lives and outcomes because blood donations lengthen and save the lives of those who have cancer. Please consider signing up and donating at the blood drive. https://bit.ly/3L6427A 🤍🩸🩹

Attention Seniors! It’s that time in high school when you are likely thinking about graduation. Your school counselors are here to help you with your post-graduation planning. We want to help all students with the path you choose.
For students planning to apply to college, we want to share important information and steps in the process.
Please follow this link: https://www.ewsd.org/o/ehs/page/senior-college-application-process which will bring you to the college application steps and how-to videos. It’s important to start these steps early (4-5 weeks before your first college deadline).
We will also provide college application help during FLEX each Friday this fall. Students can sign up in Advisory or email their counselor to sign up. Topics include Naviance support, Common App support, applying to college checklists, building your college list, visits, etc.
