Hello and welcome to the EHS announcements for the week of February 17th.

When you look around school, you may notice a lot of students didn’t show up. It may be in response to a Facebook post making the rounds. The post urges families to take part in something called “A day without immigrants”. It asks all undocumented, residents, citizens, immigrants from all over the world to not attend work, businesses, no shopping on line, no eating in restaurants or go to classes. It is hoped this sends a message to the president that without this group of people and its contribution, this country would be paralyzed. The slogan is “we might lose a day of work but we will win so much more.

There are so many issues around financial aid and seniors may seem overwhelmed. The tool, known as LendEDU Financial Aid Hotline, is a free text-in service. the number is (302) 278-4037, and you will receive a detailed response from the team within 15 minutes.
