WEEKLY UPDATE

October 27, 2017

From the desk of the Principal:

The character education word of the month is APPRECIATE

STUDENTS OF THE WEEK

STUDENT: Mason Brown Nominated by: Sra Lombardi From the beginning of the school year, in addition to demonstrating courtesy and honesty,

Mason has demonstrated consideration of others. He is helpful to his classmates during group

work. He senses when I’m looking for materials (that could be in any of 3 places!) and points

them out to me. Yesterday, when we were returning from a fire drill, Mason secured the doors

leading into our hallway. Most students simply open the door and go through, letting it close

behind them. Mason made sure the magnets were connected so that everyone could easily

pass. Kindly recognize Mason for always putting others first, and going above and beyond

what is required.

STUDENTS: Ali Rowland and Joe Moller Nominated by: Ms. Messeck Both of these students displayed leadership, maturity and compassion while helping me respond

to two separate medical emergencies during the same block in my class. They both made calls

to the nurse giving them information and requesting help as I was with the students. I am proud

to have students like these two in my class!!

The Latin Carnival was another great success this year. Last Saturday, kids from all over the

township enjoyed face painting, games, fortune telling, candy piñatas and wandering through a

maze erected in the commons area (with some great treats at the exit!). It was great seeing the

kids in their costumes enjoying the many activities as well as Latin program alumni who came

back to support the event. Congratulations to Mrs. Kammerman and our Latin student leaders

for another great year!

The annual HERO Walk is upon us this Sunday. For those newer to the staff, John was a

graduate of both EHTHS and the U.S. Naval Academy and the HERO Campaign is both a

celebration of his life as well a reminder of the devastation that can be caused by drunk driving.

Being a HERO means that you believe that through education and involvement, we can put an

end to unnecessary tragedies and make the roads a safer place for all of our families. Still time

to register and/or donate and remember to wear your 2017 HERO Walk shirts to school this

Monday, October 30:

Spirit Week begins Monday culminating with our Homecoming Game Friday versus Bridgeton

and Homecoming Dance on Saturday. Thanks to Mrs. Terry and the Student Council for

planning a great week of fun activities (see flyer below for specifics). Homecoming is always a

great time so don’t miss out on the Football and Cheerleading teams and Marching Band and

Color Guard. Go Eagles!!

New Jersey Council for Social Studies Annual Meeting at Rutgers - Using Podcasts in the

Classroom presentation by Scott Migliore and Doug Winkler.

Stockton Dual Credit teachers all came to EHTHS to engage in professional development from

Echoes and Reflections on October 24th. Presenter was Jill Rembrandt. Rachel Worrall and

Eileen Hannigan hosted the event.

Last weekend the AP Government class, and their families went to Washington DC and toured

the White House, National Archives, and National Gallery. During their White House tour

they walked the grounds of the White House and saw the Oval Office, and Rose Garden. While

at the National Archives they saw the original Declaration of Independence, Constitution and

Bill of Rights.

Have a great weekend,

Terry

WEEKLY GAME/SCORE REPORT SPORT/OPPONENT/RECORD SCORE/ HIGHLIGHTS/DETAILS

VARSITY

FIELD HOCKEY The Varsity team finished its season with a defeat to Cherokee in the

NJSIAA Group IV playoffs on Wednesday. The team finished with a 7-

12-1 overall record and 6-7-1 in the league.

FRESHMEN

FOOTBALL

The freshmen football team hosted Lower Cape May High School at the

Nest on Thursday. Lower Cape May opened the game with a nice drive

which ended in a touchdown. This was the last time they visited the

promise land. Our baby eagles shut down the Lower Cape May triple

option. The baby eagles’ offense discovered their wings and flew to the

promise land four times. The baby eagles won 28-6. The team was

playing for someone other than themselves this game. Chris Decker,

Avery Mckim and Kennith Underwood ran for hard. Shae Smith

recorded an interception on defense.

JV FOOTBALL The Eagles JV football team lost a hard fought game to the Prep last

week. The team will take on Hammonton on Monday, October 30th at

home.

VARSITY

FOOTBALL

10/20/17 - Prep 21

EHT 7

The opponent jumped out to an early lead in the first quarter and the

Eagles started off slow out of the gate. EHT then went on to out-hit the

opponent for the duration of the game, competed down to the wire, and

gave themselves an opportunity for a late-game comeback, but

eventually fell short. Sophomore running back Woodrow McKenzie had

the best game of his young career, rushing for over 70 yards. The EHT

defense thwarted every opponent drive in the 2nd half, forcing a fumble

and adding an interception by senior defensive back Matt Princz. Senior

punter Jake Rosenbleath continued to come up big on special teams, and

junior kicker Chris Cannuli executed his second successful onsides kick

of the season.

EHT travels to Hammonton this Friday night 10/27 to take on the Blue

Devils.

Record:12-2-2

No. 13 EHT lost to No. 4 Cinnaminson 1-0 on Saturday in the SJSCA

tournament. In what was a relatively even match, Cinnaminson was

able to find a goal early on in the first half and held on to advance in the

bracket. EHT’s senior captain Siani Magruder nearly tied the game with

a few minutes left. Siani made a courageous run in behind the defense,

but unfortunately, her outstretched touch found the wrong side of the

near post.

EHT went into Monday’s game needing a win to claim the American

Conference title, but fell short, tying rival Mainland 0-0 after 100

minutes of soccer. In what turned out to be a nearly identical scenario

as last year, EHT failed to clinch the title by tying Mainland in a

scoreless draw. The entire team should be commended for their

effort. Because of the result, Mainland claims the title. Interesting

enough, EHT will play the other two CAL conference champions,

Ocean City and Holy Spirit later this week.

BOYS VARSITY

SOCCER

The Varsity team finished the season with a 5-10-2 overall record and 4-

8-2 in the league. The team showed tremendous improvement as they

finished the last game of the season in a 2-2 tie with Mainland. The

team narrowly missed the NJSIAA playoffs as the final seed.

JV Girls Soccer EHT JV Girls' Soccer had a successful season finishing with a 10-2

record. Each of the two losses were by a single goal. The team scored a

total of 45 goals this season and allowing only 6 goals all season leading

to a 39 goal differential! Additionally 17 of the 19 girls on the roster

scored at least one of these 45 goals.

GIRLS TENNIS Girls tennis had a successful first day at the Cape Atlantic

Tournament. All singles players, Emily Manzo, Sarah Phung, and

Tiffany Trivers, won their first round matches easily. Tiffany played

well against the state singles champion, Tess Fisher, in the second

round, but lost in a hard-fought match. Emily and Sarah won their

second round matches and will play their third rounds on Thursday, Oct.

26.

EHT's first doubles team, Gaby Guimapang and Samantha Phung, are

the top-seeded team in the tournament. They had a bye in the first

round and won their 2nd round match. Second doubles, Asia Lackland

and Christine Vu, also advanced to the third round. Quarterfinals and

semi-finals of the tournament are scheduled for Thursday, Oct.

26. Finals are scheduled for Oct. 31.

GIRLS AND

BOYS CROSS

COUNTRY

Girls Cross Country

Last week the girls won the Atlantic County Championship held at

Hammonton Lake Park. It is the girl's second championship in the past

three years. The girls dominated the race with the lowest score in recent

history. Madelyn Shick finished fourth overall in the race and was the

first finisher for the Eagles. The girls ran in a strong pack behind

Madelyn finishing 5,6,7,8 in the race. Gianna Scarangelli finished 5th,

Rachel Roesch finished 6th, Olivia Shafer finished 7th, and freshman

Mikki Pomatto continued an incredible season finishing 8th. The

Eagles will compete to defend their CAL championship Oct. 26th at the

Millville Raceway.

Boys Cross Country

The boys lost a very close race to Mainland finishing second at the

Atlantic County Championships. The boys had the fasted team average

in school history but came up just short to Mainland who are currently

ranked 4th in South Jersey. The Eagles will look to turn the table on

Oct 26th at the CAL Championships.

ATHLETIC

DIRECTOR

The fall season for some teams has come to an end. Boys soccer and

Field Hockey finished their regular season and post-season play this

week. Girls Soccer will host Williamstown on Monday at 2:00 for the

first round of the NJSSIAA Tournament. Girls Tennis has a great

tournament run, but lost a tough match in the SH Finals to

Vineland. Congratulations to Girls XC as they repeated as Atlantic

County Champions. Football is away Friday night at Hammonton and

hoping to get the win. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook at @EHTNJ
