EBL participants and fans:
With winter weather moving into the area this weekend, we want to communicate our plans in advance. We plan to have EBL championship basketball games and Elementary Cheer Day as scheduled on Friday, January 11 and Saturday, January 12 at East High School. In the event of a postponement of the basketball games due to weather, a message will be posted to the EBL website by 6:30 a.m. If weather conditions worsen throughout the morning and Cheer Day needs to be postponed, that message will be posted and announced by 10:00 a.m.
If either is postponed, the event will be held at North High School on Saturday, January 19.

18th Annual Pop Tab Contest!
The Key Clubs from North and East High Schools hereby invite you to participate in our 18th ANNUAL Aluminum Tab Collection Contest.
Last year, our schools collected 1,814,866 pop tabs which raised $826.20 for the Ronald McDonald House. Through the first 17 years of collecting, we have recycled OVER 13 tons of aluminum tabs!!! And…more importantly, this has enabled us to donate $16,034 to the Indianapolis Ronald McDonald House.
Thanks to all of you who have participated!
Once again this year, Andy Ball, the franchise owner for the McDonalds on 3rd St. in Columbus as well as the McDonald’s locations in Franklin, Trafalgar, and Brownstown, has offered to donate free meals for one classroom at each of the winning schools and also for one classroom at the school selected in our random drawing.
The contest begins immediately and will conclude on Tuesday, April 2, 2019
