On Thursday, June 18th, we will be celebrating with our 8th grade students from 1:30 PM to 4:05 PM at Shahala Middle School. The cost of this event is $20.00. Each $20.00 ticket includes a trip to the Kona Ice Truck, a special dessert, unlimited activities and games with prizes, and a photo booth & free pictures. Students will also have a BBQ lunch option, and we will have a special motivational guest speaker. Shahala student behavior expectations apply at this event. More information will be coming out later in the Spring about this event.
Please note that this has been pushed back one day due to the school closure on 12/17/2025. The date is subject to additional change due to possible future snow days.
The Real Story of Alice in Wonderland
Drama Club will be performing "The Real Story of Alice in Wonderland" at 7pm on Friday, March 20th and Saturday, March 21st. Doors open at 6:30pm and the show is free to attend. We hope to see you there!
Reminder: Accompanying Adult Required for Students at After School Events
Parents and guardians - please keep in mind that all students must be accompanied by a responsible adult for all after school events. This includes any sports games, meets, or tournaments. If the responsible adult leaves early, then the student(s) must leave with them.
Wrestling season kicks off on February 23, 2026!
Wrestling season for our boys' and girls' team in 6th, 7th, or 8th grade starts on February 23, 2026! If you're not cleared through the ASB office, do so now using this link. You must also have a current sports physical from your doctor on file. NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED, and you only wrestle others at your own weight. Our goal is to have the biggest team in the league, so come out and bring a friend!
If you’d like to order your own gear, visit our online uniform store. Please note that items may take 4–8 weeks to arrive. This is optional, as we also have gear available for everyone to use during the season. The only thing wrestlers need to get themselves are wrestling shoes and a mouthguard (only required if you have braces).
For team updates and information, be sure to follow our wrestling website and app as the season approaches!
If you have any questions, email Coach Dillard at houston.dillard@evergreenps.org
