updatesVolume 3 Issue 1 Back to School EditionPage 4ehsFeeling Organized?Edgren’s New PlannersBy Erin NicolaiEdgren eagles start the school year with anexciting new challenge - organization. This year,in an effort to help students stay organized, theEdgren Booster Club in conjunction with theMOSC provided funding to purchase a schoolplanner for all students grades 7 -10. Whilemany students have their own methods of keepingon top of things. such as pushing homeworkto the depths of a backpack and forgetting aboutit, waiting until arriving in class the next day tofeverishly begin the assignment, or the alwayspopular “writing-on-your-hand” approach, theplanners will offer a new tactic.Edgren had official planners previously, but inthe past three years students and teachers havehad to fend off disorganization on their own.However, this year, Mrs. Sledge spearheaded theeffort to get the school planners. She and theother teachers supported this organizational toolthat would help teach students this skill early, because,as she stated, “Half the battle to successis organization.”It certainly seems like students will win thisbattle with the aid of the planners. The middleschool planners, with cover art by KatheryneOrdillas who is currently a freshman, and the highschool planners with cover art by Mister Murphywho is currently a junior, contain pages filled withquotes, advice, interesting facts, stickers, andmost importantly - room for assignments. Theplanners are sure to catch a student’s attention,so hopefully, when students are faced with thegrueling choice of throwing an assignment outwith the highest hope that a squirrel might eat itor writing a note in their planner, the choice willbecome obvious.Games ScheduleSeptember 14th and 15thGirls’ Volleyballvs Kinnick[Friday and Saturday]Tennisvs Kinnick[Friday and Saturday]Come support Edgren teams this weekendand good luck to the away teams!!Air Show Cake Sale[Continued from page 3]trips coming up later in the season.Groups like National Honor Society,JROTC, the wrestling team, the underclassmenand the cross country team also got in on theact.
