EBISD WELCOMES THE OLD GLORY RELAY

Today EBISD had a neat opportunity to show our support for veterans and be a part of something bigger than all of us.  High school principal, Jay Janczak, took a call earlier this week from the Old Glory Relay (an American Flag relay from coast to coast to raise money for our veterans) and orchestrated an inspiring gathering to simply encourage the runners and show respect for the flag. Our cross country runners joined the relay along Fitzgerald where they stopped in front of the high school for a prayer led by Mr. Gaudette, the pledges, cheers from the EBHS squad, and the national anthem and school fight song played by the Mighty Brahma Band. The elementary and junior high students also lined the streets, holding patriotic signs, and giving high fives to the runners. It was a beautiful event and another time that our district just shines! Thank you to all who participated and assisted in the planning.
