Winter Play: From the Mouths of Monsters
Teenage poet Michelle is used to fading into the background. Performing at a poetry slam feels impossible, until she is offered a mask with the power to remove the wearer’s doubts. But when the mask proves to have other strange powers, Michelle must dig deeper to find her true voice. A slam poetry-infused remix of Frankenstein from acclaimed poet, Hip Hop artist, and playwright Idris Goodwin.

To act on the Rotary motto “Service Above Self,” 20 Eagan High School Interact students and 25 members of the Rotary Club of Eagan assembled 314 “Blizzard Meals” for community seniors who might be stranded by severe weather or illness. Each package contains cans of meat, fish, fruit, and soups, and packages of crackers, and desserts suited for extended storage. Interact teens took charge of best use of the allotted $1,000, comparative shopping and assembly preparations to make the event a success. Interact was established by Eagan Rotary in 2012 to bring together young people ages 14-18 to develop leadership skills while discovering the power of Service Above Self. Currently it has 265 members.

The EHS Electrobotics FTC robot team won the regional tournament and qualified again for the state championship this year. We also won the “Connect” award and runner up in “First Inspires” award which is given for dedication to community outreach. Your support of Rocket Team event helped have us considered for the Inspire award. The connect award is given to robot teams that are actively building connections and relationships with community STEM professionals and companies. Thanks again for all your support to get to this point. We could not have done it without you. Our slide was actually broken on the Friday Dec 2 practice you allowed and worked all day to figure out what was wrong. The Saturday Dec 3 practice you supported allowed the time to make sure everything would work correctly at tournament.

Maintaining security in our school during the school day is important. We want to be sure that only Eagan HS students, or students enrolled in our Career Development courses from District 196 schools, or those EHS students who travel from SES to EHS for one or two courses, are entering our building during the school day.

After 7:40 AM all students who enter the building travel in through the secure entry booths. Students will be expected to show their current student id card (which is issued free to all students each school year) at the entry booth station.

Any student who does not have the id card should stop in Attendance to request a replacement.
