The Ethan School District would like to give a shoutout to Farm Life Creamery for allowing National FCCLA students, Kate Graham and Jeralona Harkcom, the opportunity to participate in a fundraiser during their Cheesefest celebration. Kate and Jeralona qualified for the National FCCLA conference to be held in Washington, DC later this summer and are raising funds to help with the cost of their trip. Plan to come out, enjoy some great food and great entertainment while also helping support two of Ethan's amazing students. Mr. Hawkins

🏗️💪We are excited to share plans for a new Community Wellness & Fitness Center addition to Ethan School District.
This proposed project will add a much-needed weight room and fitness space that will benefit our entire community, students, and staff.🏋️♀️
This facility will provide:
🌟Expanded strength and conditioning opportunities for all student-athletes.
🌟Improved wellness opportunities for students, staff, and community members.
🌟A safe and modern fitness space to serve the town of Ethan for many years to come.
Because the district must prioritize academic programs and daily operational needs, we do not have available school funds for non-academic capital projects such as this. For that reason, this project will be funded through private donations, grants, and community fundraising efforts. No general education funds will be used.
Why invest in this project? Strong schools and strong communities depend on attracting and retaining young families. Providing quality facilities and opportunities helps ensure Ethan remains a great place to live, learn, and work.
💙This project is also intended to honor the memory of Mr. Harter by creating a place that reflects what he stood for—hard work, dedication, a love for sports, and a deep commitment to the students he impacted throughout his life. His influence on countless young people will not be forgotten. Though he was taken from us far too soon, his legacy will continue to inspire future generations.💙
This effort will require strong partnerships among the school, local businesses, community members, and supporters who believe in investing in the future of our students. We are grateful for the generosity and encouragement that make projects like this possible.
💛❤️Thank you for your continued support, if you want to support the project, please contact the school business office.
Design and drawings will be shared soon!
