NEWS FOR TODAY

Casey Holihan and her husband, John Noe, saw a bread truck from Schmidt Baking Company stuck just ahead of them on I-95 on Tuesday. They called the company's customer service line and left a message asking if it was possible for the driver to open the truck and give some loaves of bread to them and others.

 

Holihan was then surprised to receive a phone call 20 minutes later from the owner of Baltimore-based Bakery. The owner was instructing the truck's driver, Ron Hill, to open up the back and pass out some food.

 

"We just kept giving it out until we couldn’t walk anymore because it was so freezing,” Holihan told NBC. The couple told the Washington Post they helped pass out about 300 packages of rolls and loaves of bread to people in surrounding vehicles over the course of an hour.

 

Today is National Rubber Ducky Day

Who loves Panera?! I know I do! On Saturday January 15th, come to the Ephrata Panera from 4-8 PM. Show them the flyer on the EHS Mini-THON Insta or use in the code "PRFUND" for online orders.  A portion of proceeds from all orders will be donated to EHS Mini-THON.

There are only 2 school days remaining in the first semester of the school year. A reminder to all students that the second semester begins on Tuesday, January 18th.

 

You will not be receiving a paper copy of your 2nd semester schedule this year.  Instead, you should be sure to check it out through the PowerSchool portal asap.  You can do this by clicking on “My Schedule” from the menu on the left side of the home screen.  Then click on the “Matrix View” Tab which is located above your schedule.  The default is “week view” – which shows this week only.  Beginning Monday, you will see your 2nd semester classes by default.

   

If you want to add a course in place of a study hall, check the open class listing which is available on the EHS Counseling webpage, and Schoology message your counselor with the name of the course and the period that you are switching with a study hall.

   

If you changed your mind and wish to drop a course, we need you to have your parent email your counselor with the requested change.
