St. jude’s fundraiser

Last Friday, Eisenhower’s ambassadors kicked off our schoolwide assembly by sharing our fundraising goal to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Students will have from April 13 through April 24 to purchase tickets for our School Palooza event on May 8. During the School Palooza, students can use their tickets to participate in a variety of fun activities, including “pie the principal or a teacher,” water splashing an administrator or teacher, purchasing concessions, or buying a colored bag for the color walk event—just to name a few.
 
The color walk will feature non-toxic, eco-friendly colored powder. Students are encouraged to wear white to make the experience more vibrant, and protective glasses will be provided for each participant. The powder is washable; however, we recommend that students bring an extra shirt to change into afterward, especially if they ride the bus home.
 
Please view more details about our District 54 mission to support St. Jude’s. 
During the month of April  District 54 will be supporting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital by fundraising money to make a difference for children and their families. St. Jude’s is dedicated to advancing cures and prevention for childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Your donation supports research, treatments and other care for children and families in need.
 
How to participate:  Money can be donated via cashQR Code, or check
Checks can be made out to Eisenhower Junior High School.. Cash and check can be placed in a sealed envelope and turned in to the main office with the form below. We ask that students do not go door to door asking for money.

Thank you for being a part of this amazing opportunity to change the world.

graduation 2026

This year we will be hosting our graduation at 6:30 pm  on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at Fremd High School.  
We do not issue tickets for graduation. We do ask you to arrive 30 minutes early,  so the students have time to line up and you have time to find your seats. There will be some seats available on the floor for people who cannot navigate the bleachers.
The last day of school for eighth-grade students will be that same day, May 21, 2026.  On this day, they will be rehearsing for graduation. ALL 8th GRADE STUDENTS MUST BE PRESENT ON THIS DAY.
I will continue to share additional information this spring about graduation and other end-of-the-year celebrations, but for now we wanted you to have this date to mark on your calendar.

Student Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedure

As the weather gets colder and snow becomes a factor during drop-off and pick-up times, please remember to follow all established procedures for student drop-off and pick-up. For the safety of our students, families, and staff, parents should not use the east side parking lot to drop off students. This area is designated for buses only. When dropping off students in the west parking lot, please make sure to pull your vehicle up to the front of the building when dropping off. This allows more cars to pull in and makes the process more efficient.

Thank you for helping us keep our school community safe.
