Homecoming 2011

Author: DK

Jan 21

Our 2011 Homecoming Week was a huge success!  Spirit Week kicked off our festivities getting the whole school involved with “Opposites Attract” themed dress-up days.  On Tuesday, students came to school as either young or old. Wednesday’s opposite was night and day which let us all roll out of bed and come to school in our PJ’s.  Nerds and Jocks roamed the campus on Thursday. Friday each class dressed as their chosen opposites attract theme.

Homecoming Pep Rally was a blast! Our pep squad, led by Tammy Stuck, showed off their talent. The Varsity Girls’, under the coaching of Brianna Smith, performed a portion of the routine that earned them second place at FCC Nationals. An all-squads routine was enjoyed by the crowd.  All basketball teams were introduced as was the homecoming court.  In the end, our alumni judges, Kristina Trail, Michael Mooney, Missy Pitts, Cameron Fink and Cheyenne Clevenger awarded the spirit stick to eighth grade for middle school and sophomores took down the seniors for the high school.

Our homecoming basketball games had us on the edge of our seats. Junior Varsity pulled out a last minute win over Aletheia beating them 36-35. Before the Varsity game, the 2011 Homecoming court was presented.  Representatives were as follows:  Ninth grade – Clayton Smith and Meaghan Doyle; tenth grade – Riana Lonquist and Tucker Ward; eleventh grade – Christopher Wood and Kristen Hughes; Seniors – Nick Colello and Jasmine Dortch, Kevin Esch and Michelle Ward, Thomas McGhee and Kayla Brooks.  Thomas McGhee was crowned Homecoming King and Kayla Brooks was crowned Queen.   Our Varsity team took the court next and gave a great effort but in the end lost a hard fought battle.  During Halftime our entire cheerleading program performed their Cheerleading Extravaganza.   Wrapping up the night’s festivities was the Alumni basketball game where many of our former EHCS basketball players took on the varsity team showed us all they still had game.

We topped our week off Saturday with our Student Government sponsored Homecoming Dance. The dance was held at First City Church and featured black and white décor and food as a continuation of the Opposites Attract theme. Thank you SGA for putting on a great event!

*Special thanks to Mr. Crum for officiating our Presentation of Homecoming Court and to Mrs. Trail for preparing such a lovely display of East Hill history.

Fall Fundraisers and Mission Projects

Author: awood

Oct 8

East Hill Christian School hosted its third annual fall festival on October 8th.  It was an amazing afternoon full of great activities!  There were over 25 exciting activities, with some of our more popular items being the “Jail and Bail”, “Pie in the Face”, and the favorite “Dunk Tank”.  This year students got to nominate who they wanted to pie and dunk, and those nominated were excellent sports and suffered through the cold water and chocolate flavored whipped cream with smiles on their faces.  The Parent Teacher Fellowship did a great job of organizing this event, and it was enjoyed by more than 250 people.  The fall festival is one of our important fall fundraisers here at East Hill, and this year was a success, bringing in a little over $4,000!

The elementary school participated in its first Pajama Drive for Families First Network. Their goal was to bring in 50 new pairs of pajamas for children in foster care. By the last day, students brought in over 80 new pairs of pj’s for area children. The MS/HS continues to bring in new and gently used clothing for teens in foster care. At over 200 items donated, we’ve been able to meet the needs of children and teenagers of a variety of ages. Please continue to give to this need.

God is good- all the time!

Attitude and Altitude

Author: DK

Sep 7

EHCS Seniors got away from the usual school day for an overnight trip to Adventures Unlimited. It was a chance to have fun and bond as a class, but sponsors and students alike talked about the greater lessons learned on this retreat. The seniors were able to go tubing, which is always a favorite at Adventures Unlimited. They were also able to enjoy hanging out in their own cabin and have a bonfire. A faculty member gave the students a challenge about attitude which was illustrated by the next day’s activity. They were able to complete a challenging high ropes course while learning about collaboration, teamwork, and motivation. We’ve included some pictures below!
