Eisenhower Fly-er
November 19, 2017
Message from the Principal
It is the time of year to reflect on the gifts we have. Our students and staff have been a blessing to each other this year and we look forward to that continuing. Thank you very much for all of your support of our school and our school district!
We are grateful for all we have here at Ike. Thank you to our EPSSO group for all they provide. At the beginning of the year, they purchase shirts for each of our students. On Friday we celebrated that kind act by wearing our colors for Spirit Day in recognition and thanks.
Have a great week and enjoy your Thanksgiving with your family!
Sincerely,
Tim Holcombe

Oregon Christmas Basket Program
Ohio State and Michigan will take the field on November 25th and that means that it is time to begin Eisenhower's annual "Battle of the Cans" food drive. Student Council is asking for students to bring in 3 canned or boxed food items to benefit the Oregon Community food basket program. For each 3 items, students will earn a ticket for a drawing on Ohio State or Michigan items that will be drawn on Tuesday.
Our can drive will run through Tuesday the 21st. We will have a collection table in the main hallway.
Thank you for your willingness to help families in our community!
On Tuesday, we ask that students wear their Ohio State or Michigan gear!
