The Triton Tribune
The Official e-Magazine of Eastlake Middle School
August 2018
2018-19 School Year Opens
Welcome to the Triton Tribune! Throughout the year, the Triton Tribune will bring you features, information, and announcements about Eastlake Middle School. On our e-magazine, you will also find "Shortcuts" with links to our school website and to Triton Times (formerly Cooke's Corner). We hope this will be another avenue to help our readers see what is going on at ELM.
