MIDDLE SCHOOL PRIDE - A collection of writings by present and former Eads Middle School students collected by Mrs. Bohlander:
TO BE AN EAGLE
It's a privilege to be able to call yourself an Eads Eagle. You have to make some sacrifices, but all the sprints in practice pay off on Friday night when you slip on that purple and gold. The people on the other bleachers don't get to wear it. They don't get to stand up and half-shout, half-scream, "We're a bunch of Eagles!" To be an Eagle is to have pride for your school, your colors, and your teammates.
