East Union Community Schools

Friday, November 21st our basketball players and cheerleaders teamed up for our annual community service project. We collected donations to help support ASPIRE More with their holiday cheer baskets.

This service project was appreciated and recognized by the Iowa High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) as a service award winner. Students accepted the plaque, along with a $500 donation to our activities.

We are very grateful for all the support our project receives each year.

Good Luck to the Eagle Archers, as they will be competing at the State Archery tournament in Des Moines this weekend in both 3D and Bullseye! The High School 3D and Bullseye team will also be competing for a team score! Congratulations and Good Luck!

The community is invited to a FREE community event open to parents, school staff, and the general public. Officer Jermain Galloway, also known as Tall Cop, will uncover current drug trends to keep you informed and safe. A light meal will be provided.
Pre-registration is requested. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd0gcDjNHNO2_8xjyzxLnrurv4uw53juqAuh4L5mEo66jYNng/viewform

6th graders go to visit Creston Specialty Care today as their final field trip of College & Career Week!

Thank you Creston Specialty Care for hosting us today!

As part of College & Career Week, 8th grade students got to visit Green Valley State Park, Hull Monument, and ASPIRE More.
