Please remember to send snack and water with your child each day. While we have some backups we can't give these out regularly to our students.

As you read in the latest communication from HSD Health, cafeteria lunch seating will return to pre-pandemic configurations. On March 7th, students will be eating in the APR at lunch tables seated by class without physical distancing.

We would like to offer an option for students to eat outside if they choose. Each day, the students will get their lunch from the cafeteria line and decide to eat inside at their assigned class table or outside on the blacktop. If you do not permit your child to eat outside, you must complete THIS FORM by 3/4/22. If you do not complete this form, your child will have the option to eat outside.

To help ensure adequate supervision, we will continue to need parent volunteers. 1st,4th, and 5th grades have lunch/recess 11:45AM-12:30PM. 2nd and 3rd grades have Lunch/Recess 12:35PM-1:20PM. One volunteer slot per day.

During the week before Super Bowl Sunday, EH Student Council organized a 'Soup'er Bowl Contest. Students donated soup cans to vote for the team they wanted to win the Super Bowl. One can of soup equaled one vote. The results are now in! EH collected 133 cans for the Las Angeles Rams and 274 cans for the Cincinnati Bengals. That is a total of 407 cans of soup! The Student Council donated to the Cherry Hill Food Pantry, an organization that provides groceries and related services to the surrounding area. The Cherry Hill Food Pantry appreciated our SOUPer donation!! Thank you to all those that donated for the Souper Bowl Contest.
