TEST 1: EHS Windows - Week of 10/02/17

Challenger Football Game Brings Out Joy in Service

Last Wednesday's Challenger Football Game exemplifies the joy that students, faculty, and staff find when serving others. More than 20 athletes with special needs ran through drills and learned cheers while being guided and encouraged by EHS cheerleaders, football players, Students of Service, coaches, faculty and staff. The Challenger game is one of many service projects Knights have launched this school year, including Freshman Service Day, tutoring at Nehemiah, and the myriad service projects related to Hurricane Harvey. #KnightsStandOut
