Ephrata School District administration, school board and the district's construction teams welcomed Washington State Representative, Tom Dent on a tour of construction projects underway at Ephrata Schools. The group toured progress being made on the revitalization of Ephrata Middle School and Columbia Ridge Elementary. These two projects are part of nearly $90 million in capital improvements in progress or planned throughout the school district. Though the projects will cost almost $90 million to complete, only about one-third or $27.89 million will come from local bond dollars. The remainder will be paid in matching funds from the State of Washington.

PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE FROM SHANNON DAHL

I am excited for not only the holiday season and festivities, but for the new quarter where we will see all the growth your scholar has made. This can be a crazy time of the year for families, full of happiness and good old fashioned fun. It can also be a worrisome time of the year for many. I hope you are able to use this time to unwind and appreciate one another. Don't feel pressured to do something extravagant. There are many opportunities to have fun and build memories right in your own home!

Here are some ideas: family game night; baking cookies, have an indoor snowball fight (crumple up old newspaper, etc. & go for it!); build your own drive-in theater with forts, a movie and some popcorn; crafting; paper snowflakes for your windows & to hang from the ceiling; bake something to give to a neighbor; go on a family walk (make it a scavenger hunt); do an obstacle course & time each other (inside or outside); make cards and decorations to take to the Senior Center or local assisted living.

Season's Greetings and good morning.

As I sit in my chair early this morning I had the following thoughts, so I thought I'd share them with you.

Ephrata High School welcomes Austin Parker as its new varsity boys wrestling coach. Parker will lead the Tigers in their season opener on Thursday, Dec. 1, at home.
