**EAWR is proud to partner with KSDK’s Tackle Hunger campaign at next Friday’s Homecoming Football Game! Bins will be delivered to campus for us to fill with canned goods, cereal, and other non-perishable items. We’ll be competing against Breese Central to see who can collect the most donations. KSDK will be on site next week and during the game to capture photos and video of the event. Let’s fill those bins to the top and show everyone how OilerNation supports our community!
**All school pictures are scheduled for this Monday, September 22nd. Students should have received an order form in their first hour class this week but if a student needs an additional form please stop by the Main Office. Seniors can submit a different picture for the yearbook but still need to get their picture taken by Lifetouch to be included on the 2026 class composite picture.
