Today's All School Meeting was "retro" themed. We played trivia, groaned at some punny jokes, and played an advisory vs. advisory game of Where's Waldo. Thanks to Patty's advisory for leading the party!
It's Inclusive Schools Week! EOC is proud to be working toward a welcoming environment for all students and staff members. This year's theme is "Unity within Community - Inclusion Around the World." View Gov. Tim Walz's proclamation at https://tinyurl.com/walzinclusion.
Last Monday, Brooke and Patty's advisories took a field trip to World of Wheels in Superior, WI. The group skated for several hours, ate delicious pizza, and had a great time with friends both old and new.
Last Wednesday, Jessica's advisory went to Base Camp in Minneapolis. They played team building and communication games, practiced their archery skills, and got to rock climb!
No school Thursday November 24th and Friday November 25th. Have a great long weekend.
Gigi's advisory spent the afternoon at the non profit Allyhoo assembling materials to make stuffed animals for children in the hospital. Special thanks to Allyhoo and Faith, an EOC Alum.

Larry's advisory went to Carlson's Llovable Llama Farm today! They braved the cold, hung out with baby llamas, and everyone took a llama for a walk. The llamas and the students had a great time!
