November 28

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.

Congrats to the following students who successfully auditioned for the 2008-09 Colorado All State Choir: Ben Brady, Clay Burns, Bella Campana, Zamir Hall, Ariel Kelly, Daniel Simmons, and David Steninger.

Also Congratulations to Ben Brady and David Steninger who successfully auditioned for the Colorado All State Jazz Choir!

Good luck Class of 2012 student council candidates, as elections are THIS THURSDAY, the 4th.

Also, nice job speech team on a successful trip to Chicago.
