Excellence in Eudora

Elementary School

GRADE LEVEL DRIVES

First Grade collected hygiene items to donate to the Bird’s Nest. Miss Haney’s class engaged in a project-based learning unit focused on the driving question, “how can we as First Graders help the Eudora community?”. They collected over 900 items as a grade level.

Middle School

Ems Science Olympiad

The EMS Science Olympiad team had an outstanding day on Saturday, February 25th, earning 8th place as a team out of 23 schools and earning their opportunity to represent EMS at the state competition on April 1st!

ALL-STATE CHOIR

Second Grade participated in their annual pet supply drive during the holiday season. Students brought around 225 donations, such as dog treats, peanut butter, dish soap, dog/ cat toys, and other necessities to keep our furry friends at the Lawrence Humane Society happy and healthy!

Positive

PALS

Positive Pals is a program designed for students to connect with an adult staff member or community volunteer outside the classroom. The student meets with their Pal weekly to play a game, color, read, or talk. This year there are currently 74 students and 41 adults meeting each week. All grade levels benefit from the program.

Growing Smiles Dentistry

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month. First and Second Grade enjoyed an informative and eye-opening presentation from Growing Smiles Dentistry. Members of the Growing Smiles team brought engaging visuals to help our students see the proper ways to brush and floss their teeth. Additionally, they brought visual boards to show the students how much sugar they eat or drink when snacking on various popular foods and drinks.

Brantley Moeckel and Joey Mastro were selected to the Kansas All-State Middle Level Choir! Brantley is a tenor, and Joe is a bass. Out of 800+ auditions from across the state of Kansas, Joe was one of 20 basses, and Brantley was one of 20 tenors selected for this honor.

Music Performances

Every grade at Eudora Elementary gets a chance to perform for their parents. Programs range from celebrating Kansas Day to Orff instrument based programs. Fifth Grade finishes their elementary career with a larger show where they experience acting-type roles. In addition, Cardinal Singers and Fifth Grade Band have several opportunities to show their newfound skills to parents.
