EHS Library Remodel
Library Grand Re-opening
Over the winter break the EHS library went through a remodel and we are excited to show off the new space.
The EHS building and library are 17 years old and much of the library furniture was in rough shape. Thanks to the support of the Eudora Schools Foundation, Douglas County Community Foundation, Straub Construction, Freedom Interior and the Eudora Board of Education the new space offers many options for our students and teachers. The Eudora Board of Education has once again made a great decision to support the educational needs of our students, and keep our facility updated and educationally productive, even in the time of a pandemic.
These changes bring great flexibility to the library and replace furniture in great need of replacement. There are many people that helped make this project possible, and while we will always be educating students as a unified group, we would like to recognize some of those people spear-heading this accomplishment. EHS librarian Gretchen Schreiner, EHS English teacher Shannon Pickett, Shanda Hurla and Lauri Kuntz from the ESF. Tammy Hodges, Zach Cooper, and Myles Long from our custodial staff as well as Steve Rife, and Brad Nottingham from the grounds department who spent many hours tearing down old furniture and putting together new furniture. Caleb Lewis and Pat Willis for electrical work. Ron Long, Phil Baine, and Zach Dale for technology upgrades in the room.
Our hope for this space is twofold, to increase the use of this space by our students and create areas where the furniture can be flexed to meet the learning needs of our staff and students. There are now seven different flexible spaces in the library, and we want to use them all as often as possible.

Cardinals Care Fund
The Eudora Schools Foundation (ESF) and the Eudora Schools are pleased to announce our Cardinals Care Fund. Take a look at this announcement video: https://youtu.be/8e2hqUDJp_I
The ESF's Cardinals Care Fund was created to meet the urgent, immediate, and basic necessities of Eudora students, to ensure that the student's physical, social and emotional needs do not stand in the way of their success in school. This program helps fill needs unmet by any other source. If you or you know of someone that has a need, please reach out to your student's school.
ESF administers financial assistance for emergency needs such as food, clothing, medical, transportation, utility, and housing. Of course, some requests are unique and fall into no specific category. Please note, this is an emergency fund and money is limited.

Cardinal Nation:
EHS has joined the NFHS (National Federation of High Schools) Network and installed new video technology at Eudora District Stadium and in the EHS Gym that will offer you the opportunity to subscribe so that you can watch all of our events at home. By subscribing you also have access to games at any school EHS plays that have the NFNS system; DeSoto and Piper are examples, as well as thousands of other schools across the country that are part of the NFHS. In these times of limited attendance, we strive to be able to offer all we can to our fans and students to be able to watch our events whether at home or on the road. Please go to NFHSnetwork.com and search for Eudora High School to see upcoming events your Cardinals are competing in. Thank you to all parents and spectators for your support and understanding during this year of unprecedented changes.
To subscribe to the NFHS Network go to www.NFHSnetwork.com, search for Eudora High School, and subscribe. This will be a great way for friends and family members who can’t make the game to watch their favorite Cardinal compete.
