We Raised More Than $1,100!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As part of our Lancer Field Hockey Cares initiative, EHS JV field Hockey Coaches Posella and Evans took the lead in organizing a Lancer Field Hockey fundraiser to benefit The Willow Domestic Violence Center. Through online donations as well as selling donuts (donated by Donuts Delite) and having a gift basket raffle during our FH games on 10/16, the team succeeded in raising more than $1,100 to benefit Willow. Lancer Field Hockey is a long-time supporter of The Willow Domestic Violence Center, having raised well over $7,000 for the organization since 2014. 

Thank you EHS FH players, families, coaches, as well as friends & alum of EHS FH, for supporting our community service efforts!!

SPOOKY Team Gatherings and Practices

The Varsity FH team enjoyed a Haloween-themed team bonding event at Anita’s house last weekend. Players enjoyed pumpkin painting and lots of Halowen-themed games. Many thanks to Anita’s family for hosting this fun event!!

————————

The JV FH team (along with a few varsity players) took part in a “spooky practice” last Friday. Organized by Coach Posella, Coach Clare and Coach Evans, players (and coaches) wore costumes and enjoyed silly photos and treat bags at the end of practice. Thank you Coaches!!

PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!

Our EHS All Sports Booster Club is looking for volunteers this Fall to staff the outdoor and indoor cafes during sporting events. We hope that FH families can help with some of the dates. Booster Club is an important supporter of all EHS athletic teams, including field hockey. They have many volunteer opportunities still available this fall! PLEASE help out, if you can.

FYI… It is fine for students to volunteer along with a parent (no student volunteers without a parent).
