Felix has been helpful and cooperative during the drill.

2 What a great opening for our school year! The freshman are all finding their classes, we had four great Renaissance assemblies for each of the grade levels, and Back-to-School Night was a great opportunity to partner with parents and get everyone on the same page as we move forward. Parents were able to register themselves to offer personal expertise that will augment our curriculum. Our Senior Ambassadors were out in force helping parents navigate the building and the flower arrangements at the main entrance were beautiful (thanks Mrs. Butrus!). The School Store was buzzing all night with Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Zitto and our student entrepreneurs bringing in gross sales of $3,488 (a BTSN record!) It was good to see alumni of all ages visiting the school and having a positive community vibe throughout the whole night. Thanks as always to our maintenance and custodial staff for making the building sparkle.

5 From Mrs. Makos: This past Saturday, the EHTHS Silver Eagle Marching Band hosted a Tournament of Bands Competition on our home turf. The band boosters hosted four visiting bands from Southern Regional HS, Barnegat HS, Jefferson Twp. HS, and Woodbury HS and the competition went off without a hitch. While EHTHS's marching band was in exhibition, they performed a fantastic first half of their program and will spend the next few weeks learning the second half. GO EHT! From Mr. Swift: The following students attended PennApps (University of Pennsylvania's Hackathon) Sept 8th- 10th. Jaysson Solano Christian Kline Nicholas Michelette James Vu Josh Sennett

6 As described on the university website: In the context of a hackathon, the word "hack" is used to describe how multiple technologies can be used together in a new and innovative way. Teams of up to four people spend the weekend working on innovative software and hardware solutions to real-world problems. These projects range in platform and application, including elements of web development, mobile applications, drones, and more. However, many times the most important aspect of a hackathon is the community it generates and skills that inexperienced hackers walk away with. Have a great weekend!
