Track and Field Postponement Proved Positive The postponement of the Track & Field Day proved to be a positive decision. Monday, the alternative day, dawned bright and clear and remained so during the duration of this long-anticipated event. The only drawback would have been the pesky gnats which, despite their “attacks,” just could not deter the enthusiasm of the eager runners, jumpers, throwers, climbers . . . they did it all! Thanks to Mr. Anderson, Mr. D. Schueler, the other teachers, and the high school students for helping the elementary and junior high students to have a great day!
Thank You, Students, for Honoring Our Veterans A heartfelt thank you to ECHO’s 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who honored our veterans by participating in the recent poppy poster contest.

Booster Club to Purchase Blocking Sled for Football Program Next Meeting Date: Monday, Sept. 13 The final Booster Club meeting for the school year was held on Monday last week. Among the topics on the agenda were: Coach Schueler requested funds toward the purchase of a $2,000 blocking sled to be used during football practice. After discussion on the importance of the sled, the board voted unanimously to cover the remaining $1900 toward the cost. (Mr. Schueler had already received a $100 donation.) Sophomore Jesse Pingel was also here to describe his Eagle Scout project, which he calls a Team Work Building Game. He was requesting $200 to cover his expense and when completed, his plans are to donate it to the school. His request was granted based on his Boy Scout project, his presentation, and the fact that the game will be given to the school. The question on whether or not to sponsor a bus to transport students for swimming lessons to Granite Falls this summer was discussed. Due to the decreasing number of students utilizing the bus in recent years, the board voted unanimously against the idea. Fall events were discussed: the Silent Auction and Whopper Feed, scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 23 and the delivery date for the Little Caesar’s Pizza is set to coincide with the elementary Parent-Teacher Conference on November 4. Out going president Steve Haak was honored with applause and a key ring memento for his years of dedication. Dave Schueler was asked to fill the position and he accepted. The remaining officers, Ann Cunningham (vice president), Marsha Lecy (treasurer), and Lynn Kuehn (clerk) volunteered to resume their positions for the coming year. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the ECHO Rockets Booster Club will be Monday, Sept. 13.
