EHS WEEKLY MESSENGER
April 24th, 2022
NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS
Teacher Appreciation
We love our teachers and staff at EHS, and once a year we spend a week showing them just how much we appreciate all they do for our students. Each year, we survey the staff to determine what items they need the most. Then we make gift bags for every member of our amazing staff. But we can't do it without your help. You can sign up to write thank you cards (which our teachers rave about every year), or to purchase food or goodie bag gift cards on our sign-up genius page. Or, if you prefer, you can go to the PTSA Teacher Appreciation Donation Page to make a monetary donation in lieu of donating specific items. Donations will go to purchasing items that we don't collect through the sign-up genius, and to pay for a coffee cart, lunch, and massages for all of our staff during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Thank You - EHS PTSA
PROM: April 30th, 2022
Prom 2022 is almost here and the Student Senate could not be more excited to celebrate our amazing juniors and seniors! Prom will be held at the beautiful La Baldoria in Lakewood on April 30th from 7-10 pm. La Baldoria is located at 146 Van Gordon St, Lakewood, CO 80228. Masks are not required. Prom will feature a plethora of activities including a DJ, mocktails, desserts, appetizers, lawn games, and casino tables! The casino tables will include Texas holdem, blackjack, and roulette. The top three students with the most chips at the end of the night will win some amazing prizes.
Prom tickets will be live for purchase online via Infinite Campus starting this Monday, April 11th. You can purchase tickets on Infinite Campus from April 11th until noon on April 29th. Just click on the Prom 2022 icon on our school website and it will take you to the purchasing site. Tickets are $60 for a single and $115 for a couple. Make sure to purchase them before the day of prom because they jump up to $120 per ticket at the door. IMPORTANT: Non-EHS guests CANNOT buy tickets at the door. Only EHS seniors and juniors can purchase their own ticket the day of prom.
Students can also buy tickets during lunches the week of prom from April 25th to the 29th. These tickets will be sold in the front of the school next to the security desk. The EHS guest form is also live on the school’s website and must be completed if your son or daughter plans to bring someone from another high school. PLEASE NOTE: A hard copy of the guest form must be printed, filled out, and turned into the front office by 2:30 on Wednesday, APRIL 27th. These guest form policies are made at the district level and are a requirement for all school dances.
The first round of prom royalty voting will be held on April 19th during homeroom. Only seniors will be participating in this vote. The court will consist of the top 8 most nominated seniors, and the final round of voting will take place at prom. Winners will be announced around 8:30.
Please contact the Senate sponsors, Ms. Lavin (KLavin@Jeffcoschools.us) or Ms. Neumann (jneumann@jeffcoschools.us), with any questions!
We can’t wait to see you all there! Let’s celebrate in style, cougars!

Evergreen Rotary is currently recruiting three host families from the Evergreen Community to host a high school foreign exchange student for approximately three months of the 22-23 school year. Hosting a foreign exchange student with a short term commitment can be extremely rewarding! Everyday routine becomes lively as we share our holiday's, weekends and our culture with a foreign student and they share their culture with us. Life long friendships are developed!
