Hey all you old Exira Marching Band Members:
Mr. Parmley and Mr. Nielsen have been "cleaning out" some old closets! We are trying to find a way to get rid of some old uniforms without just throwing them all away. If you are interested in an old uniform or just a hat, feel free to email Mr. Parmley at cparmley@eehkspartans.org. We just ask that you may be willing to write us a donation to EEHK Spartans Music Boosters. If you are talented, there are some really cool things you can do with old uniforms. If you just want a specific item, feel free to email Mr. Parmley and ask what is available.
Items:
2 styles of Marching Hats
2 styles of Uniforms (older uniform only a few)
Flag Team Shirts
A few Marching Band Polos
As was said, if interested or you have questions, please email cparmley@eehkspartans.org.
You have 3 weeks (by November 13th) if interested and they will then find a new home.
In case of inclement weather listen to KJAN or KCCI. School late starts and closures will also be announced on social media.
Reminder: The west parking lot at the high school will be closed on Monday and Tuesday. Please park at the baseball field. The alleyway and street are not available to park in.
The crane has been pushed off until next week. Students and staff may use the parking lot.
HS students and staff will not be able to park in the west parking lot on Thursday, October 22nd. Please use the baseball parking lot. DO NOT park on the street or in the alley.

The Exira-EHK community will be honoring the life and memory of Rochelle Bruns on Oct. 9th and 10th. Rochelle was a dedicated Exira-EHK teacher, administrator, and parent from her first year in the district: 1993-94. She will be greatly missed by all of her former and current students and staff, but also by her family, friends, and communities.
The following are the details for services provided by Kessler Funeral Home in Exira.
Friday, Oct. 9, 2020, Kessler Funeral Home will hold an open visitation for the community to pay last respects. The family will be present from 5:00 PM until 7:00 PM.
Sat., Oct. 10, 2020, the memorial service for Rochelle Bruns will be at the Exira-EHK football field in Exira, IA. Public seating will begin at 12:30 PM with service starting at 1:00PM. Facial coverings are expected to be worn during the services due to the large number of people who will be in attendance. Limited bleacher seats will be available, therefore, you may bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on the field or the hillside. Rochelle’s family has asked for the community to wear purple, Rochelle’s favorite color, to the services and to dress casually.
Thank you to the communities of Exira, Elk Horn, Kimballton, and Brayton for your support during this difficult time. Rochelle was a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister, teacher, friend, and neighbor who will be missed. She loved her community and school. We hope to remember her life and the strength she showed daily as we say our final good-byes.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mr. Miller
To honor Mrs. Bruns, the 2020-2021 Spartan Yearbook staff would like to ask that all staff and students wear purple on Friday, October 9th for a picture during the school day. Both elementary and high school students are invited to participate and masks are expected to be worn during the photo; pictures of both groups will be featured in the upcoming yearbook.
Thank you for supporting Spartan Strong & Mrs. Bruns.
Sincerely,
Spartan Yearbook Staff
