In today's news,In today's news, swarms of cicadas, part of a group called Brood X, are expected to appear in 18 states in the next few weeks, just in time for the summertime. These billions of cicadas (yes billions) have been underground and hiding since 2004. Brood X is a group of periodical cicadas that emerges from below ground every 17 years. The three epicenters of Brood X will be Washington D.C., including northern Virginia and parts of Maryland, Indiana and then Knoxville Tennessee. The timing of the appearance of Brood X cicadas varies by location depending on how warm the soil is. On this day in history, in 1870, The Queensboro Bridge in New York opens which was the first double decker bridge.

The EHS Mini-THON Club would like to inform you of our Official Mini-THON plans for this year. As we know, things have been very different and hard on a lot of us this year. Although the world has got put on pause, Pediatric Cancer has not. This year we will be having a school-wide fundraising competition. Each homeroom will be a fundraising team, and have a group Donor Drive account that can be shared with friends and family anywhere, anytime, and anyplace. You will have from when your Donor Drive account is set up, until the end of May to Fundraise. We have many incentives set up for fundraising which include Swag Bags, T-shirts, Donut Parties, Pizza Parties, gift cards, and even a chance to win a Charcoal Grill. There will be more information given to your homeroom teachers in their mail boxes. On top of the Fundraising competition, the month of May will be a Month-Long Mini-THON Event. This will include different activities, themes, and games EVERY SINGLE DAY of the month. Check out our Social Media for the calendar of events, and the fundraising incentives! Follow us @ehs_minithon on Instagram and @ EHS Mini-THON on Facebook for updates. We are so excited to start this 2-month long event all For the Kids. No family fights alone.
