Last week the 7th graders wrapped up a unit on personal finance by attending a simulation at J.A. Finance Park in Chesterfield. While in the simulation, students were assigned identities and provided with financial obligations like student loan debt and families. Students then worked to build a budget to meet their family's needs and goals and tested those budgets by trying to shop within their bounds.
There is only one thing that can replace a book: the next book. Go check out these new books at the EHS library.

Each week a small group of EMS Junior Honor Society students volunteer at the St. Joachim and Ann food pantry in Elsberry. This is a great example of service learning, which is an opportunity for our students to give back to the community.

In honor of National School Counselors Week we wanted to give you a sneak peak at a day in the life of Mrs. Hagemeier.
A typical day for Mrs. Hagemeier as EMS counselor
- greeting students
- enrolling new students
- updating student information
- meeting with students in crises
- goal setting with struggling students
- classroom visits and lessons
- coordinating outside counseling agencies
- parent phone calls and meetings
- teacher meetings and professional development
- visiting with students during lunch
- middle school testing coordinator duties
- E2 site coordinator, after school program
The ESD works with multiple local agencies to help meet the needs of our students. During National School Counselors week we wanted to recognize the extra counselors that come into our buildings to support our students. We are thankful for the extra support services and resources these organizations and individuals provide. These services are paid for by the Lincoln County Resource Board via local sales tax dollars.
