We are hosting our annual HS Family Night, this is a fun night for students and staff to build relationships outside of the classroom. If you would like to donate to the night, please contact jfruit@earlville9.org. 100% of the donations go back into the night. We use the donations to give back to the students, prizes and cash are greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Just a reminder, when the bus is stopped to load and unload children you are not allowed to pass. This includes when the students are being dropped off in the morning in the east lot. Thank you!

Huge D2E shoutout to JP Goodbred! JP was recognized for going above and beyond to take care of our school. Comments include; "JP shovels snow outside of the school to keep the sidewalks safe. Comes in at 6 am on mornings of potential ice to check for areas that need salt. Volunteers to help with tasks around the building without complaints. Helps with groundskeeping to keep facilities looking nice. Takes out the trash at high school lunch to help out the custodial staff. Whether it be setting up tables or helping to set up a PE game for the day, you know that it will be done and complete by the time you need it." Thank you JP for being D2E!

This month, we are proud to recognize an 7th grade student who demonstrates outstanding self discipline skills. Mila Boyer, daughter of Brandon Boyer and Alexis Carlton, was selected as our Student of the Month for the February Portrait of a Graduate Pillar of Self Discipline. Teacher comments include “She consistently demonstrates strong self-discipline through her ability to set ambitious goals and stay committed to achieving them. She remains focused, motivated, and persistent, even when tasks are difficult or require extra effort. Mila takes responsibility for her actions and choices and holds herself to high standards. She manages her time effectively, stays on task, and follows through on expectations without needing reminders. In all senses of the phrase, she is a model student—academically, behaviorally, and in the way she treats others. When faced with challenges, she shows perseverance and self-control, choosing to stay engaged and work toward improvement rather than giving up. Most notably, she is committed to doing what is right, even when others are not. Her integrity, accountability, and self-discipline make her a positive role model for her peers and a truly deserving recipient of this award. Congratulations, you have earned a $5 gift certificate to the cafeteria, a T-shirt, and a yard sign.

This month, we are proud to recognize an 11th grade student who demonstrates outstanding self discipline skills. Breanna Ebert, daughter of Christie Barr and Bryant Ebert, was selected as our Student of the Month for the February Portrait of a Graduate Pillar of Self Discipline. Teacher comments include “Breanna Ebert reflects all the qualities associated with self-discipline. She holds herself to high academic standards and then proceeds to complete the quality of work needed to achieve those goals. Breanna balances her ambitious drive for success with a positive attitude, uplifting those around her throughout the day. She cares about doing "what's right." Whether it's academic pursuits or interactions with others, Breanna embodies accountability and credibility, thus demonstrating that success is earned, not given.” Congratulations, you have earned a $5 gift certificate to the cafeteria, a T-shirt, and a yard sign.
