NOW OVER TO ____ WITH THE NEWS

NEWS INTRO VIDEO

In today’s news, Americans living in Seattle are the first to experience a new opportunity in the evolution of American democracy; voting by smartphone. Although, this may not seem like a huge deal to some, others are freaking out over the danger of election tampering and hacking that voting over the Internet could entail. In fact, one of the first online voting programs was hacked in 2010, which has left some paranoid.

On this day in history in 1998, Ted Kaczynski, also known as the Unabomber, pleads guilty for his crimes and is sentenced to life in prison. Kaczynski would be responsible for a letter-bombing campaign that would span over the course of 17 years, and resulted in 3 deaths and more than 20 injured. His motives were ideological, stemming from ideas of anarchism and primitivism. -----------------

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!
