Precautions to Take Before the Winter Break
EGOS and EGHS staff,
Before you leave for the Winter Break please address the following precautions from DPS Facility Management:
Holiday Reminder for Principals(Of Interest to All Principals)
As you are thinking about the upcoming holiday break, please be thinking about leaving your building protected for hard freezes. Your Facility Manager has been instructed on what to do but they need your help. Many schools have plumbing on exterior walls. These sinks and water lines are almost always contained in built in cabinets. During the holiday break, the cabinet doors must be left open to get the full warmth of the room circulating around the pipes and fittings. Please assist us in preventing water line freezing and make sure that all such cabinet doors are left open. This same request is made for any freeze alert that is sent from the Service Center to the schools and departments.
All appliances, computers and printers should be turned off and unplugged. Laptops should be secured and out of sight. All space heaters must be unplugged.

REMINDER - HOLIDAY LUNCHEON
Holiday Luncheon
Our annual holiday luncheon has been scheduled for Thursday, December 17 from 11:30-1.
While purse strings are tight all over, we felt it was important to carry on with our tradition of gathering together for the holidays. We hope that you will plan to join us for the festivities. As usual, Chef Tim and Chef Kristi and their students will prepare our feast.
Due to the budget, we will not be able to distribute turkeys this year. We will have a white elephant raffle and give away door prizes, including Michael’s floral arrangements.
Please consider bringing a non-perishable item to donate to the food banks in Denver who are low on supplies.
Thank you,
Marla Rodriguez,

Scholarships Awarded
I trust you had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
The Denver Area Health Care Recruiter Association (DAHCRA) met just prior to the holiday to determine where we would like our annual scholarships to go. After careful review of all eligible health care programs, we decided that we would like to award to Emily Griffith Opportunity School two $500 scholarships; one for a home health aide student and one for a CNA student. We felt that this assistance could help to jumpstart two careers in nursing.
We do have some stipulations. The student must:
Be a citizen of the United States.
Maintain a B-average in all courses.
Have an interest in pursuing Nursing as a career.
