Oilers tip off at Freeburg.
The Guidance Department invited members from the National Alliance on Mental Illness Southwestern Illinois (NAMI SWI) to present “NAMI Ending the Silence” to students currently enrolled in Health Education.
"NAMI Ending the Silence" is a presentation geared towards educating high school students about mental illness featuring individuals and family members whose lives have been affected by mental illness who provide real-life perspectives based on personal experiences. In addition to the presentation, a variety of resources regarding mental health were provided as well as an information booth during lunch periods.
We would like to thank the members from NAMI SWI for taking the time to present to our students in order to provide a better understanding about the importance of mental health. Visit namiswi.org or nami.org to learn more.

Five EAWR sophomores went to Edwardsville to learn about the Illinois Labors’ and Contractors’ Joint Apprenticeship & Training Program.
This program is for juniors and seniors to learn general construction, concrete, blueprint reading, bridge construction/demolition and much more. It also gives them a chance to earn college credit. The sophomores got to see 2 of our seniors in action as they demonstrated putting rebar down for highway construction. If you know of any underclassmen that are interested, have them talk to their counselor!
Oiler Bowling vs. Breese Central this afternoon! It’s next to impossible to get a better picture angle than this. Let’s go Oilers!
Today's athletic schedule.
Great job by the EAWR and LCJH band and choir at the winter concert.
Students in Mrs Parmentier's Algebra 1 today did an activity on finding slope of a line. Mrs Parmentier pushed all of the desks and chairs against the wall and students had to stand and walk around the room the whole time. The problems also had QR codes on them so students could check their work when finished.
