Dear Parents and Community Members,
While we are quickly approaching the end of the school year, it is easy
to get caught up in all of the events that are taking place. This past
week we hosted performances of musical and artistic talents, along
with some athletic talents as well. It is evident that our students work
very hard at their crafts, and I would like to thank them for displaying
these for the community. With all of this going on, we also had another
family whose mother has undergone some recent medical procedures
and she wished for me to share her words of appreciation for the
support that all of you have displayed towards them.
"Words can not express the gratitude I feel from the Eastwood
Athletic Department Track and Field Team for their very
generous donation to the sudden illness that I have incurred just shy
over the past two weeks. As you may or may not know I have three
beautiful children, Ajay (first grade), Jessica (sophomore), and Alysa
(senior) that all attend Eastwood Schools. Mild headaches settled in
over the past few months to become a life threatening illness for me
of a major brain tumor. As of today, the tumor that was removed last
week is being retested at the Mayo Clinic for confirmation of where we
go from here for treatment. I am a very private individual and have
never expected for any help or assistance from anyone. It is just
amazing in my eyes of all of my friends and family that have been so
supportive and loving through this rough time in my life. I have three
babies and my goal is to never give up. I will fight . . . . I will win this!
They all need me here and I need to be with them!!!
Can you please assist me in reaching out to everyone who has been so
supportive emotionally, with prayers, finanacially, and been here for my
family. It means so much more than any of you will ever realize. If
there is anyway you can kindly forward, attach, etc. my email out to all
parents on your email list in the school district, I would feel very
appreciated towards you. I want everyone to know how much I greatly
appreciate their love and support.
Thank you so very much!
With all my love,
Amy Rice"
Amy is the mother to two of our High School students and they have
endured an emotional roller coaster over the recent
weeks. Unfortunately, a number of our students have encountered the
loss of a parent this school year, but Amy is determined to win and has
the positive attitude to help her succeed. Please keep her family in
your thoughts and prayers, and also those students who have endured
similar situations this school year. Ultimately, while it is easy to get
caught up in everything else that is taking place, always set aside some
time for the one's you love and treasure those moments.
Senior Exam Schedule
Beginning this Friday, May 22, the Seniors will begin taking their final
exams for the school year. On the two days that they are testing, we
will still follow our regular schedules for all classes. Here is the Senior
Exam Schedule...
Friday, May 22: Periods 2, 4, 6
Tuesday, May 26: Periods 1, 3, 5, 7
Freshmen-Junior Exam Schedule
When the rest of the students take their exams, they will be using
alternative schedules, much the same as the schedules we use for the
semester exams before Christmas. The primary difference on these
exam schedules compared to the semester exams is the order in which
they are taken. On the final two days of exams, we will have early
dismissals at 1:02 PM each day. On Friday, May 29, the buses will still
operate at their normal times after school meaning they won't leave
until after 2:23 PM that day. On Monday, June 1, they will depart
early at 1:15 PM for the last day of school. As for the exam schedule,
here is a list for you...

student who is going to be involved in any summer athletic activities, it
is highly encouraged to have a current athletic physical and this would
be a great opportunity to have that completed.

committee in appreciation to their many donors...
"What an incredible event!!! This year the After Prom organization
kept over 230 students safe while having a fabulous time attending the
drug and alcohol free event at the BGSU Recreation Center. We would
not be able to offer such a wonderful event without the support of so
many people and organizations. The Eastwood After Prom committee
would like to thank the following organizations, individuals, and
businesses for the generous contributions to our 2015 After Prom
event.
As they continue to support us, please support them with your
patronage and business.

Just a quick reminder that school will not be in session next Monday,

through service in the Armed Forces.
That is all that I have for now. Please remember to
