2012 Homecoming

      This Saturday is the annual Eddyville Charter School homecoming that will be held at the Eddyville Community Center at 7-11 PM. This year's sophomores have decided on the theme of a "Fairytale Formal."
      To get students active, this year, the sophomores are offering $1 off all tickets for whichever high school class can decorate their specific hall the best. Each class has given a certain theme they are based off of and are required to decorate their assigned hall. Winners will be announced Wednesday morning.
      Another activity offered to students all around the school is spirit week!!! Dressing up like the theme of each day is a harmless event which can be quite fun. 

Monday- Superhero Day: Dress like your favorite hero
Tuesday-Formal Day: Get formal for the day
Wednesday-70's & 80's Day: Groovy-fy yourself for this day
Thursday-Orange & Black Day: Show your school spirit
Saturday-DANCE: Dance the night away:)





Dragon Drawing Lessons!!!

New at Eddyville Charter!

3rd grade, Miss Charlie Moore, our newest artist in residence, is teaching dragon drawing lessons in the reading room. Unfortunately, she only teaches Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, but her class sizes are booming!! Meeting their maximum capacity, Miss Charlie Moore, is very excited about the newest and greatest idea to entertain students. Kudos to you, the soon-to-be-Picasso, we hope to see more unique classes in the future.

First Friday

         This year, Eddyville Charter School, has hosted a second-season celebration to share the love of reading. This new special occasion will be held on, of course, every first Friday of every month.
         Children's special someone in their lives are welcome to come and read to their child as well as other children in the class. Volunteers are also asked to join each month as a extravagant guest and begin the theme of each month.
         This First Friday's theme was DOGS! Along with reading their favorite stories to their family members, students were also given the opportunity to read to therapy dogs. Needless to say, this was only the beginning for magnificent First Fridays to come.
        A special thank you to Oregon Coast Therapy Animals, Eddyville's high school students who made dog books to read to the children, as well as, to my parent volunteers who took time out of their day to come read.
