Give Kershaw students a week and see what they can do...

RWK students recently took the time to remember the 10th anniversary of 9/11. We discussed the events of the day and how more then ever before strangers came together to help out one another. In the spirit of service we decided to help others out as well. Can tabs are collected all over the world for the Ronald McDonald House to recycle and receive funding for their programs. Within a week RWK students collected hundreds and hundreds of tabs. Some students brought in huge bags from home, some collected during lunch periods and others are asking their families to save the tabs. We all now have a simple service project that is easy and rewarding. It reminds us that our country's citizens are known and will continue to be known as people that help those in need. When others are suffering, we lend a helping hand and contribute.

Mt. Ephraim Piskers Bakery tops Mt. Ephraim Cabana on Opening Day

by Chris Blaylock

Score by inning             1      2      3      4      5      6      F

Mt. Ephraim Cabana   2      0      0      0      0      4      6

Mt. Ephraim Piskers    1      1      0      2      2      1      7

       

         Last Saturday, Mount Ephraim held another perfect Opening Day. For the Major League Division, the Mt. Ephraim Cabana team (coached by Joel Stemetzki), faced the Mt. Ephraim Piskers Bakery team (coached by Augie Meraz). M.E Cabana capped off the first with two RBI-Singles by Dymitri Galieono and Jeff Henkel. In the bottom of the 4^th, Andrew Fehr gave M.E Piskers a 4-2 lead with a 2-Run Home Run. In the top of the 6^th, M.E Cabana made a fierce comeback down 6-2 to tie it 6-6. In that inning, Jon Myers had an RBI walk and Dymitri Galieono tied it with a 3-Run double and was then thrown out trying to advance to third base. But in the bottom of the 6^th, a passed ball went back to the fence and the runner at 3^rd scored to win the game. So, in the first game for both teams, they show they have a lot of talent in them and can find their way to the Play-offs easily at the end of the season.

Night of Excellence- Tuesday, April 19th @6:30pm

RWK students would like to welcome parents to our Night of Excellence- The Students Take Over! This is a great opportunity to come "back to school" with your child and explore the great things happening at Kershaw. Student work will be on display as well as various learning stations around the building. The students have TONS to teach you so please plan on attending! Those that attend with a parent will receive extra credit in some of their classes. Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the night. 

NJHS transform Shining Star Park

A huge thank you to the National Junior Honor Society members for spending their Sunday afternoon cleaning up Shining Star Park. The park looks absolutely amazing! Students weeded, planted flowers, picked up trash, painted and moved wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow of mulch to each garden area. This is what Kershaw students are all about- service and dedication to their community! Let's keep this park looking beautiful.
