I am so proud of our team at Eastern Local. Their hard work and collaboration helped us once again receive grant funding this year to provide Eastern students with the classroom supplies for each grade level. We apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience, but due to the timing of the grant funding we were not able to get the message out there sooner. We are excited to be able to offer this to our students. Our hope is that helping families with this burden will allow them to use those resources to get students involved in more extracurricular activities. We know students who are engaged in more extracurricular activities here at school, at church, or in the community are more likely to have better academic outcomes, better attendance, and have more connections. We know the skills they learn and the relationships they build can have a major impact on their ability to find their "E" after graduation: Enrolled, Employed, or Enlisted. We want our students to gain the skills to be leaders in our school and community. If you have any questions, please reach out.
Our plan currently, as long as our suppliers can complete the orders, is to hand out the supply kits at our open house as we did last year on August 22nd from 5:00-7:00. We are excited to see everyone there.
