Thursday, September 8th the Eureka FFA hosted their 16th annual Labor Auction at the Livestock Center in Congerville, IL. Dinner was delicious pulled pork sandwiches with the meat donated by Chad Leman! The auction started at 7p.m. with Lowell Stoller, Andy Knobloch, and Jim Stoller serving as the auctioneers for the event. Lowell told the officers how nervous he was, he ended up doing a wonderful job! As for the crowd the stands were filled, as FFA members waited to be auctioned off. It was a wonderful turnout! Donators from the community were so generous we were able to hold a silent auction. The Eureka FFA would like to thank everyone who purchased a member, or anyone who came out to support the FFA, we really appreciate it, and are looking forward to teaching our members leadership, dedication, and much more this year.



Solvi Bakke, Foreign Exchange Student From Norway

Solvi Bakke, a foreign exchange student from Norway, recently taught students at EHS about her home country. Her presentation included information about the weather, economy, food, sports, fashion, cities, and other major news events including the tragic bombing and shooting that took place on July 22, 2011. Miss Bakke was even courageous enough to speak about her personal experience living through the bombing. Students took part in a discussion asking questions and found many comparisons between Norway and the U.S.

Students were given the option to write an essay, create a poster, or make a power point presentation.
