Dear Elementary K-5 Families,

Thank you!
Mrs. Bauer
The Middle School and High School are wearing Green for Gabe today. Many thoughts and prayers to your family from ours at EEHK.
Good morning Spartan Nation,
Each year the State of Iowa gives schools a Conditions for Learning Survey. This survey identifies strengths and areas of growth. We would appreciate if you would take a few minutes to check your email for the link and complete the anonymous survey.
Thank you for participating,
Administration
Students, Staff, and Families. On Friday, April 14th, we want to show our support to the Riverside Schools by wearing green.
Exira-EHK 8th Grade is planning on going to SpringBrook State park, which is outside of Guthrie Center, on Tuesday April 24th. Students will be spending the day learning about different aspects of nature along with some hiking, kayaking, fishing, and Atalae throwing.
A Waiver Form is required, from the DNR and Spring Brook park officers for the kayaking that we will be doing. The form will need to be signed by parents for the students to be able to kayak, if they do not have a signed waiver form, they will not be able to allow them to kayak. Forms will be sent home with students on Friday.
Happy National School Librarian Day, Mrs. Hansen! You are greatly appreciated by all of us at Exira-EHK!

Speech is NOT easy, which makes me appreciate these kids more and more each day! If you see them, ask them about their pieces! They should be proud at how they represented Exira-EHK Today!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!!
Exira-EHK High School students are producing the play, "That's Not How I Remember It"by Don Zolidis! You won't want to miss this 80's throwback!
"Mom and Dad love to tell the story of how they met in 1986 -- 'pretty much the most awesome year ever.' Trouble is, they remember their courtship completely differently. Mom's version makes their meeting sound like a sappy romantic comedy while Dad somehow makes himself the star of a karate battle. This tubular one-act is a crazy homage to bad 80s movies and the inadequacies of memory.
More information to come at a later time! Mark your calendars now!!!
Update: NO SCHOOL at Exira-EHK on Thursday, 3/9.
