Panther Fun Day!
January 14th
Thursday January 14th is Panther Fun Day! To celebrate the end of the 2nd marking period, we will all be taking a break from classes and assignments in order to have some fun together. You will be able to attend fun sessions including games, dance, TikTok challenges, cooking classes, arts and crafts, and so much more! You will also be able to pop in and say a virtual hello to any teacher at East High- whether you have them for class or not. We know you have missed seeing them and they certainly have missed you! Click the link below for a copy of the Panther Fun Day schedule: https://documentcloud.adobe.com/link/review?uri=urn:aaid:scds:US:81b25565-e09b-4770-92b4-c5e44480d625
All sessions are open for the entire hour and you can come and go as you please. Pop in, stay as long as you wish, then leave and pop in somewhere else. It is your day! Next week you will get another email with a link to a website that will provide you instructions on how to get into each session. We can't wait to see you on Thursday for some Panther Fun!
Would you like to give a gift this year that will truly have an impact on a student’s life? CD East is holding a drive to “Sponsor a Senior,” where donations will be used to pay for each senior’s graduation events. We are working to provide the most normal high school experience we can for these students that have endured so much disruption and change. This will also help alleviate costs for their individual families.
This donation is a great way to give a gift this holiday season that will surely put a smile on someone’s face for years to come! Please use this link for details on how to donate and what the money will be used for: https://sites.google.com/cdschools.org/ehsseniors/home
Whether or not you are financially able to contribute at this time, we ask that you please share this link with your friends, families, employers, and other community members/businesses that would be willing to help our cause. Thank you for showing our students how much they are supported!
