The teacher of the month is Mr. Ramirez. His fellow teachers say he has jumped right into teaching at ECHS like he's been here for years. He's here early every morning preparing to create a classroom that is inviting and rigorous for his students. He leads co-planning for US History and is an active part of the Soc. Studies PLC. The students give positive reports on his classroom and appreciate his preparedness. He highlights a crew of new teachers at ECHS that keep our future bright!
The freshman student of the month is Willow Evans. Her teachers say she is the textbook definition of a well-rounded student. She is kind and funny. Her sarcasm is well placed and delivered. She operates as a positive model in social circles. She approaches academics tasks with a desire to get it right, and to get it right early. She holds herself to high expectations.
Hey Owls! Just a heads up that this Wednesday, Oct. 4th, the National Emergency Broadcast System test is set for 1:20 pm. This means that all phones, tvs, and radios will send out a warning test. We ask that students and teachers turn off their phones completely (not just on silent) before the end of 3rd period so this will not disrupt classes.
Congrats to our top three sellers:
1. Salvador Montes
2. Maham Hussein
3. Willow Evans
Top advisory: Mr. Wahl's
Thanks to all for your support. We still have a lot of chocolate out! If you took chocolate, please bring $ in ASAP! We need it and it sticks to your account until paid! Thanks again!

Our ECHS Owls participated in Sources of Strength last Friday at the CTC. Sources of Strength is a best practice youth suicide prevention project designed to harness the power of peer social networks to change unhealthy norms and culture, ultimately preventing suicide, bullying, and substance abuse. The mission of Sources of Strength is to prevent suicide by increasing help seeking behaviors and promoting connections between peers and caring adults. #WatchUsSoar
