Eastern Local School District

Mr Fogle and our K-4 students have our halls celebrating fall! Awesome work!

Yesterday a message was sent out about lunch charges. The message was sent by staff members who were following the procedures the school had followed a few years ago prior to the pandemic. The last couple of years during the pandemic the government made lunches free for all students and lunch charges were not an issue. This year that program has gone away and Eastern Local does not have enough students who qualify for free lunch in order for us to be eligible for free lunch for all students, so any students who do not qualify for free lunches must pay. We currently allow students to charge multiple lunches and pay for those lunches from an account that receives donations. That fund received multiple donations this year and those funds have been depleted because of so many charges from students who do not qualify for free lunches, but many times forget to bring money. This is most common with our older students. We are exploring other options at this time to figure out how to best take care of our students and not run our lunch service account further in debt and take funds from other programs to support it. The National School Lunch and Breakfast program that we utilize does not allow us to accumulate debt. I have had multiple people reach out to ask if there is a fund for these charges and if they can donate. There is a fund and you can donate by writing a check to “Eastern Local School District” with the memo: community lunch donations, or contacting Brian Collins our food service coordinator ( 740-985-3304 bcollins@easternlocal.net ) to help in other ways. Thank you to all those who reached out to me about the situation. We always appreciate how so many in our community look at a tough situation and want to help, that is what makes me so proud to be a part of this community. Thank you, Nick Dettwiller Superintendent Eastern Local School District 740-667-6079 ndettwiller@easternlocal.net Stronger Together

Hello.  Thank you to everyone who participated in the cheese and summer sausage fundraiser.  Items ordered will be passed out as soon as we receive them.  We are starting our next fundraiser this week.  It is the laundry soap and other cleaning items.  Our school has done this fundraiser in the past and it has proved to be very successful.  Fundraiser information and order forms are being passed out this week.  Your Junior may have already received the forms today. If not, they can get the forms from Mrs. Buckley in the high school. This will run through November 21. All orders and money will be due on that day.  Money raised through these fundraisers is what pays for this year's prom.

Hello, My name is Jezare’ Brooks. I am the Archery Coordinator. We are doing a Rada Fundraiser. The money we get goes back to the kids. It pays for archers to go to Tournaments. Also anything the kids need to be able to shoot. Like things for their bows arrow rest, bow string or string wax. They need arrows as well as stuff for their arrows like nocks and fletching. We also supply the targets they shoot. There are two different kinds: Bullseye and 3D. 3D targets are the animals deer, antelope, sheep, bear, turkey and coyote. Without the funding to help the kids all costs would go back on to parents. All orders can be done with any of our Archers or you are welcome to contact me. When ordering from a book. Your Rada will be sent to us. Then we will make sure you get it. You can also order online and your order will be sent directly to you. Orders can be done at www.RadaFundraising.com Please search for our group name: Eastern Local Archery Club. That way we get credit for your order. All orders have to be in by 16th Nov. 2022. Thank you so much for taking the time to support our Eastern Eagles Archery!!!
