Happy Friday Rams! What a great week in the Ram Nation. On Wednesday our Volleyball teams had their Dig Pink Night raising awareness about breast cancer and honoring survivors. With the support of the fans and community, the volleyball program raised $500 that they were able to donate to My Breast Cancer Journey, a local non-profit that assists breast cancer patients and their families. Thursday evening our National Honor Society welcomed their new members with an induction ceremony. The National Honor Society recognizes students who display strength in the areas of scholarship, service, leadership, and character. Today we hosted a College and Career Expo in the gym, where 17 local colleges, career opportunities, and military recruiters had the chance to meet with every high school student and talk about their futures. Middle school classes were able to walk through and spend a little time in there as well. Granite Advantage was also there and will be back this coming Friday to support our Apply NH event, where seniors will get to apply to NH Colleges for free and enter for a chance at a $500 scholarship. We will also have support helping students prepare to enter trades or the workforce upon graduation. If you are looking to check in and hear from students on what is happening around the school then be sure to check out P3Tea, an ELO podcast for the whole Rams Nation. In this student-run podcast, they discuss school topics, life, and what is happening in our school and community. They have four episodes posted on the ELO page which you can access from our school website.

Making real-world connections, a share from Jules Luca, Class of 2026.
On September 26th, I visited St.Catherine's Church in Spring Lake NJ for a wedding. It was a beautiful church and what was even more beautiful was the interior. It was so awesome that I could recognize what architecture it was because of my ELO. I am learning about the history of architecture, and I could identify that the church was Romanesque Architecture. Included is a picture I took after the wedding was over. Sadly I could not get any on the inside of the church because pictures weren’t allowed. The wedding was gorgeous and the building, designs, and structure of the church were jaw-dropping.
Romanesque architecture is known for its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy pillars, barrel vaults, large towers, and decorative arcading.
