EG BACK TO SCHOOL

Students Start Classes in Rippey, G.J. Aug. 27

East Greene Community School opened its doors for the 2009-10 school year on Thursday at the elementary in Rippey and the high school-middle school (grades 6-8) in Grand Junction.

EG is going to a trimester academic calendar this year to be in synch with Jefferson-Scranton and Paton-Churdan, as high school students now take their advanced level classes at J-S along with students from P-C. The three schools are also now coordinating their curriculums at the elementary level. The first trimester ends Thursday, Nov. 19. School will dismiss early that day. Thanksgiving vacation is Nov. 25, 26 and 27. The second trimester will end Monday, March 1, 2010.

All three county school districts got things underway for 2009-10 with the County Kickoff Pep Rally on the square in Jefferson on Thursday, Aug. 20. The EG Booster Club hosted a supper followed by the annual pre-season football scrimmage the following night at Karber Field.

The Hawks open the 2009 grid season tonight with a road game in Westside versus the Ar-We-Va Rockets. Game time is 7 p.m. EG’s home opener is Friday, Sept. 4, against Charter Oak-Ute.

The Hawkettes traveled to Burnside last night (Thursday) to take on Southeast Webster-Grand in the season volleyball opener, downing the Eagles in three straight games.
