In today’s news, a new coronavirus has been broken out in China, causing deaths and economic downturn. Not much is known about the virus just yet, except that many of its symptoms are similar to pneumonia. The World Health Organization will convene an Emergency Committee on Wednesday to discuss if the virus is a global health threat or not.

On this day in history in 1793, King Louis XVI was executed during the French Revolution. By this time in the Revolution, the French monarchy had been abolished, but the King was discovered to be conspiring with Austria and others to enact counter-revolutionary measures. After being convicted of treason, he was sent to the guillotine. -----------------

Attention all Ephrata Students:

We are changing things up this year!

For our kickoff assembly for our Mini-THON this year we are having a ‘Two part’ event. During Mountaineer Block on January 29th we will be holding an assembly for all students in which the boys will be doing a group dance.

Later that evening, we will be holding a ‘Diamonds in the Rough’ event showcasing all of their individual talents. (To see these talents you must come to the event in the evening.   We will not be showing these during the school assembly) This event will be from 6-8 pm in the High School Auditorium. The suggested minimum donation fee is $5 for students and $8 for adults.

Come out for a fun filled night to see who will be crowned King? From 1/21 to 1/27 you can raise money for each individual by putting money in their bins during your lunch which will go toward their grand total and help them compete to be the top fundraiser.

----------------------------

Have a great day Ephrata!
