Suzanne Walker's Food Science Students who are members of IKE FCCLA Club participated in the Central Washington State Fair in the School Division where they canned peaches donated by Thompson Farms and made cookies that were entered into the fair.  Items made were on display at the fair in the Modern Living building.  

Students learned about Food Preservation with canning peaches and learned about chemistry in baking cookies.  Congratulations!

Eisenhower High School will host the first NOVVA Technology fair in the state of Washington.  This Smart Virtual Fair Platform is fully designed and focused on educational events and replicates all the features universities and students enjoy at in-person student fairs but online.  Eisenhower High School wants each student to graduate pursuing some form of post-secondary education.  This opportunity allows personal, interactive exploration for the entire student body.  Gabe Stotz, Career & College Readiness Specialist is coordinating this virtual event for students.  Mr. Stotz states, " All students should have the opportunity to explore various pathways.  This platform gives our students the opporutnity to determine whichi pathway best fits their own unique interests." There are opportunities for students in grades 9-12 to start planning their post-graduation.

This virtual fair will take place during the students' Cadet Connections class on Monday, Sept 27, 2021 from 8:00- 10:00a.m. Parents are welcome to participate.  Students and parents register at https://eisenhower.educationconnectivelive.com

On Thursday, April 22^nd, Ian Kornegay was crowned Mr. Ike 2021 The competition includes fundraising, talent, a letter to a hero, and onstage question. He and the Mr. Ike team raised $17.004 for the Yakima Children’s Miracle Network. This was an incredible feat considering all of the COVID restrictions. In a normal year, thousands more would have been raised. The creativity of the students involved, led by Mary Prentice, head coordinator, came up with such unique fundraisers as a parade and the first annual Easter Egg Your House. Candy-filled Easter eggs were hidden in the yards of people who requested it.

Eisenhower has been raising money for the Memorial Foundation for 24 years. This amazing program has resulted in raising over $300,000. The goal is to teach the students what it means to give back to their community, a principle that drives IKE. We are already planning next year’s silver anniversary extravaganza.

Caleb Coscarart won Mr. Congeniality. This honor is given to the contestant who displayed the most enthusiasm during all of the early morning rehearsals and fundraisers. The 10 contestants and 10 coordinators earn 50 hours of community service each.
