He comes to class a few minutes early to make sure that everyone who needs a text book has
one waiting for them when they arrive to class. He also helps putting them away at the end of
the period. Parker is a very kind and respectful student who deserves to be recognized for his

Last night, two separate events were held for current and prospective EHT families. Mrs. Elko
from the Guidance department facilitated Financial Aid Night for families wanting to learn
more about college funding. Mrs. Sharon Austin from the New Jersey Higher Education
Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) presented on topics including scholarships, grants, and
work study programs as well as loan programs designed to help fund the Expected Family
Contribution (EFC) that is required of entering freshmen. Mrs. Austin’s presentation is posted
on the Guidance page and the HESAA website is located at
http://www.hesaa.org/Pages/StudentsParents.aspx . The HESAA website is a wealth of
information for New Jersey families and should be part of the college planning process for
every student.
Also on Thursday, a group of 8th grade, private school parents and students came in to tour the
school, get information about our programs, and have the opportunity to ask questions. While
we do not recruit students, it’s nice to give EHT resident families unfamiliar with the district the
opportunity to orient themselves to our school and make an educated choice amongst the
numerous secondary school options in our area. The open house for Alder and Fernwood
families is scheduled for Wednesday, November 15 at 6:30 pm. Any and all athletic teams,
activities, or programs are welcome to set up a booth in the Commons Area to provide
information to incoming students. Please email Mr. Pellegrino to reserve a spot.
Congratulations again to our Educational Foundation Mini-Grant winners this year! The

FCCLA students participated in The American Cancer Society Making Strides against Breast
Cancer walk held in Ocean City, NJ on Sunday, October 15, 2017. EHTHS FCCLA collected
donations for the cause. The team captain, Stefania, created this team as an outreach project for
breast cancer awareness. Not only is the team raising funds for the American Cancer Society,
but they are also developing leadership skills and learning ways to give back to the community
and organizations that have widespread impact. It was great day on the Ocean City Boardwalk!
FCCLA set a goal to raise $500 and they raised $600!

WEEKLY GAME/SCORE REPORT SPORT/OPPONENT/RECORD SCORE/ HIGHLIGHTS/DETAILS
JV FIELD HOCKEY
JV field hockey has completed its season at 3-5-7.
VARSITY FIELD HOCKEY Varsity Field Hockey tied Mainland in the annual
pink game on Monday and beat Atlantic City in
overtime on Wednesday night!
Cheyenne Avellino scored for the lady eagles against
Mainland and it was her first varsity goal!!
Kylie Elwell scored the goal during regulation
against AC and Angelica Dagit scored the goal at the
very end of overtime to give the Eagles the win!
FRESHMEN FOOTBALL
The freshmen football traveled to Washington
Township to play the Minutemen. The baby eagles
had one good series, putting together a 12 play drive
that resulted in our only touchdown scored by Chris
Decker. Kenneth Underwood took the next play to
the promise land for two points. The baby eagles are
still trying to figure out how to fly for four quarters
of a game.
VARSITY FOOTBALL 10/13/17 Washington Township 14 EHT 6
The varsity team dropped a hard-fought game last
week, bringing the overall record to 0-5. Shaquille
Boyd racked up the yardage offensively and Yvandy
Rigby provided the only points, intercepting the
Washington Twp. quarterback and bringing it back
to the house in the 4th quarter. EHT is on the road
this Friday 10/20 vs. the prep with a 6:00 start time.
GIRLS VARSITY SOCCER

minutes of play. Junior Emily Rudolph and
freshman Meghan Maul recorded their first career
varsity goals. Senior Captain Stefania Piantadosi
netted three. With the win, EHT ensured a return bid
to the illustrious SJSCA tournament after making it
last year. This is the third time in school history that
EHT made the tournament which represents the top
16 teams in southern New Jersey. No. 13 EHT take
on No. 4 Cinnaminson on Saturday at 11am in the
first round.
EHT added another to the win column on Monday at
Middle Township’s Senior Night. Freshman Niki
Danz scored after getting in behind the defense on a
great combination play by junior Lauren Woolbert
and senior captain Stefania Piantadosi shortly into
the second half. Middle countered with a goal a few
minutes later, but Stefania came though by finishing
a ball that skipped on the wet grass through the
keeper’s grasp. Senior Devan Freas and junior
Emily Rudolph played well in the win. EHT is to be
commended on their composure in a game that saw
multiple yellow cards given all to Middle Township
for over-exuberant play.
EHTHS girls’ soccer made history yesterday with
their first win in the program’s history on Millville
soil. EHT sophomore Kara Semet played senior
captain Stefania Piantadosi through the defense with
a lovely weighted ball. Stefania’s initial shot was
saved, but freshman Niki Danz was there to bury the
rebound about 23 minutes into the first half. EHT’s
lock down defenders senior captain Siani Magruder,
junior Emily Rudolph, freshman Casey Biglan, and
freshman Meghan Maul shut down all scoring
opportunities Millville could muster. Strong
defensive midfield play from junior Alexa Albert
and solid goal keeping from senior Courtney
Flaherty secured EHT’s eighth shutout of the season.
With this win, EHT is one win away (against
Mainland) from winning the Cape Atlantic League
Page 14
American Title. Best of luck to the girls as they
compete in the first round of the SJSCA tournament
this weekend in Cinnaminson.
