First of all, thanks everyone for coming on Friday! The dance went very well, and pictures will be up shortly.

The halls look FANTASTIC due to all the hard work you put in to decorating them!

(John Leyba, The Denver Post)

Rudy Carey got his 600th win! Congrats!

Ski club is organizing a trip to Copper mountain on Jan. 24th. We would like to charter a bus that will leave from East. Contact Ms. Perkins for moro info or to RSVP.

Congratulations to:
Beth Hinz, Colorado Coach of the Year
Zach Bolden, Player of the year,
Zach Bolden, Grant Simon, All Colorado-team
Honorable mention: Sharod Dadgar, Zach Grossnickle, Adam Schrieber

* Zach Bolden realizes everything is going to change for him next season. A junior at Denver East, Bolden helped the Angels capture the Class 5A soccer championship last month, scoring a team-best 26 goals along the way

By winning the title, Bolden helped East change its reputation as well. No longer will the Angels be considered a good team from a weak league. Now, East has to be included in the discussion of the state's elite programs

"It's really going to be interesting to see how teams come at us next year," said Bolden, the Rocky's All-Colorado player of the year. "Before, when teams outside our league played us, they kind of dismissed us because they didn't think the (Denver Prep League) was very good. Now that we proved what we can do, they're probably going to be gunning for us to try to see what they can do against the state champs."

Denver East's Beth Hinz is the All-Colorado coach of the year for the second time in her career.

DANCE TICKETS ON SALE IN ROOM 100

Remember to buy your dance tickets ASAP, on sale in Room 100.

PTSA meeting tonight at 7PM in the commons.

There is a mandatory BSA meeting on Tuesday, as well as a JSU meeting.

Thursday, Green Club presents a guest speaker.

Good luck to the girl's basketball team tomorrow night in their season opener at East at 7PM against Hinkley.

The boy's home opener is on the 9th, and check this out from the Rocky Mountain News:

DENVER PREP LEAGUE

Favorite: Denver East

Contenders: Denver South, Lincoln, Montbello, George Washington

Key players: Miftah Ali, Denver South, 5-8, Jr.; Isiah Cooper, Montbello, 5-8, So.; Tino Dressler, Denver South, 6-4, Sr.; Bryant Durant, Denver South, 5-8, Sr.; Sean Edwards, Montbello, 5-11, Sr.; Quentin Hildreth, Denver East, 5-10, Sr.; Danny Rodriguez, Lincoln, 5-7, Sr.; Roderick Taylor, Montbello, 6-6, Jr.; Da Vaughn Thornton, Denver East, 6-5, Sr.; Troy Wiese, Denver East, 6-4, Sr; Dominic Williams, Lincoln, 6-4, So.; Sean Williams, Lincoln, 6-4, Jr.; Amal Wilson, Montbello, 6-5, So.

Outlook: State champions from the two largest classifications now get to compete on the same level, with Lincoln moving up from 4A to challenge defending 5A champ Denver East. The Lancers graduated almost every starter from its team, though, while Denver East at least brings back its top scorer in Da Vaughn Thornton and Troy Wiese, a top outside threat who improved greatly before last season. Denver South has all five starters back and another five letter-winners, so coach Adam Kelsey certainly has a lot of experience as the Rebels move up from 4A. Montbello and George Washington both graduated their best players, and the Warriors still look pretty young. However, there is enough developing talent on both teams to make it an interesting fight behind the Angels.

Also, we were ranked as the number two team preseason in the state by the Rocky Mountain News and NUMBER ONE by the Denver Post. This should be an interesting season, to be sure. As they say, third times the charm.

Check out the East Spotlight's new website.

We hope everyone had an excellent Thanksgiving holiday!

Monday and Tuesday is hall decorating, where Seniors decorate the first floor, Juniors decorate the second floor, Sophomores decorate the third floor and Freshmen decorate the fourth floor. This is an old East tradition that student council brought back last year. The teachers vote on who has the best decorated floor, and whoever does gets a) a fun pizza party and b) bragging rights. Please bring in items to decorate the halls (ie wrapping paper, streamers, images) and label your things if you want to get them returned. We will be decorating after school on Monday and Tuesday.

THIS FRIDAY is the Winter Dance: A Journey Through Time. Tickets are $4 ahead of time, and $5 on the day of. No tickets will be sold at the door, and no guests are allowed. The theme is meant to be a change of pace from other dances we have done. This dance should be different and fun. Purchase tickets in Room 100.

Have you used the bathrooms in EHS lately? Well, you have two things to cheer about. First, due to the passage of the municipal bond issue for Denver county, East is getting its bathrooms redone! This should be completed over the summer, before classes commence for next year. And second, Student Council is pleased to launch the new Toilet Paper, a monthly paper detailing what is happening around the school. Please check it out during you next trip to the restrooms, and remember, they will be a lot nicer next school year.

Good luck to the instrumental music program, as they record their annual CD this week at CEC. For more info, or to purchase a CD, contact Mr Keith Oxman in Room 350. Also, congrats on two fabulous concerts.

Way to go Chemistry classes, as they are visiting elementary schools this week such as Bill Roberts and Cory, to perform a Cool Chemistry Show.

We are enjoying our Fall Break, but what all are we working on?

-We formed a Safety Committee to promote safety throughout the school. This committee will do awareness about a variety of issues through a variety of ways.

-Each class council is also busy. The Seniors are planning a fashion show, the Juniors are planning a carnival, and the Sophomores are getting ready for Rock and Jock.

-In addition, Council is participating in community service. For example, we volunteered at Josh and Gus's Run for a Reason, a benefit run for Sudden Unexpected Death Syndrome. Pictures can be found here.
