Throughout the last couple of months, students across District II have been practicing and preparing for the PMEA festivals to come. Last of the festivals to be put on this year was District Choir. On February 3 through 5, nearly 200 students from seven school districts located in the District II area came together to practice and perform the songs selected by British guest conductor and two-time Grammy award winner, Dr. Christopher Kiver of Penn State. EMHS students Anthony Monde, Sarah Dietsch, and Brittany Arp were selected to go to Corry as the Eisenhower representatives.
The PMEA District Festivals were kicked off this year with District Orchestra in Meadville. Students from surrounding school districts attended the three-day event held January 14-16, including our own Kayla Kuppertz, Mikki Gifford, and Eric Course.
Mr.Penley’s Government classes were visited today, February 24, by the League of Women Voters. Students had the opportunity to work along side the volunteers from the league and register to vote for this upcoming election. Senior, Kayla Kuppertz, shared her experience registering to vote, saying, “The ladies were very nice and helpful, it was a very simply process. I suggest that everyone of voting age registers and fulfills their civic duty.” The volunteers had a lot of insight to offer the class about how the voting process works. Students observed example papers, which provided them with knowledge about absentee ballots. At the end of the class period, students were allowed to experience first hand how a voting machine works. The students were very appreciative that the league took the time to educate them about young people’s participation in the government.
