There will be a MANDATORY Girls Basketball (Grades 7-12) Players and Parents meeting on Sunday November 9th at 4:00 (Players) and 4:30 (Parents). This meeting is for ONLY players and parents of girls that want to play or practice with Varsity or JV teams. If you are a 7th or 8th grader and want to play 7th and 8th grade basketball ONLY and not High School, you do NOT have to attend. If at all possible, I would prefer both parents to attend. If it is impossible for you to attend, you must contact me prior to the meetings. Coach Young

The Ethan Elementary Music Program is excited to announce this year’s Christmas production, Dashing Through the Show! Our students have been working hard to bring some holiday cheer to the stage, and we can’t wait to share this magical performance with our community Thursday, December 4.

To help make this year’s show truly special for our kids, we’re looking for up to two Thrivent card donors to help support the production. These donations go a long way in providing props, costumes, and decorations that make the performance come to life.

If you have a Thrivent card available and would like to donate it toward the musical, please reach out to Sue Tilberg (Susan.Tilberg@k12.sd.us) — we’d be so grateful for your help in making this holiday season a memorable one for our young performers!

Don't forget your coffee! Opening in 15 minutes! !

Hot Shots will be in Ethan TOMORROW!!! 10% will be giving back to school for supplies!! See image for details!!
