On Saturday, June 6th and Sunday, June 7th, Eastview's ultimate frisbee team, zEUs, headed to the state tournament at the Twin City Polo Ground fields in Maple Plain, Minnesota. Despite the cold, rain, and wind, the team did well on Saturday, beating Henry Sibley 13-2, Mahtomedi 11-1, and White Bear Lake A 10-6, but losing to Cretin-Durham Hall 9-3. The team didn't fare so well in Sunday's improved conditions, however. After a tough 9-7 loss to Mounds View, Eastview beat Saint Paul Central 12-9. Sadly, their luck fell again as they lost to Southwest 10-8. Eastview then lost another tough 8-11 game to Eden Prairie in their final game, bringing them to a respectable twelfth place. However, this was not up to the team's expectations; they took seventh last year and the year previous, and were the six seed this year. The team has high hopes for next year, as the relatively young and talented team matures. Great job, guys (and girls), and good luck next year!

Brian's PSA blog

I chose to do my PSA on preparing for the ACT. This test is different because the students who take it in June have to days after school gets out. I talked with one of my tutors who works out of the Math Addvantage tutoring service place in Eagan and she said it was okay to film the place a little. All the information I presented on the PSA was given to me by her. The advice really paid off, for me at least. The editing process of the video took about two days, two because some Flash kids had to work on a story for their show, or something like that. Good luck to anyone taking the ACT on Saturday.

Laura Gengler's blog 2: Spring Dance Show

On Thurday June 4th and Saturday June 6th Eastview held its annual spring dance show. The theme for this spring dance show was 'movies'. It was an excellent show and both nights were sold out! The audience was packed and they all said they loved it! I was luckey enough to be a part of the dance show because I am in dance class hour 1. I perticipated in 4 dances out of 16 or more! Everyone in the show worked really hard to put on a good show for the audience. Some of the dances that were performed was solos, hip hop, and modern. The solos were performed by a couple girls in LDT. The majority of the dances were hip hop because moat classes picked that style of dance. And the modern dance was based of the movie Titanic to go along with the theme of movies. This year was very special becuase we had a WCCO channel 4 news man filming the preperation for the show. I was at Applebees when the show aired and it was really cool to see how fast the news team filmed, edited, and then aired that story. It was very timely! The story was about how Eastview's boys are getting involed in our dance program also. All in all, the show was very fun! All of our hard work deffinetely paid off.

The meet was at Hamlin University. Prelims were on friday and finals were on saturday. The 6 girls that qualified were sophmore, Anne Ferguson in the 800m and the 1600m. In prelims she qualified for the 3rd seed in the 800. in finals however she did not perform her best and did not get top 8 at state. The 4 by 100m relay composed of freshman, Paris Sanders, Junior, Mallory Burnham, and sophmores, Amanda and Alex Beckman. They did a wonderful job and got 1st in state with an amazing time of 48.49!! Junior, Taryn Dwyer tried very hard in Prelims but unfortunaetly did not make it to finals. Both for prelims and for finals the stadium was really packed. It was an amazing day on friday but ended up being an awful, cold and rainy day on saturday for finals. All six girls tried very hard and ended the 2009 season very well! good job girls!

The EVHS dance department had their dance shows this past thursday and saturday. Every class has a dance, along with extra dances that people sign up for and solos. I performed both thursday and saturday night. The theme for the show was movies. Each night show went very well. I was in the slum dog millonaire dance, my class dance which was hour 2 space jam, the hannah montana dance and also the finale. Which everyone performs in the finale. On saturday night, channel 4 news actually came in and recorded some of it and the story aired that night at the 10 o'clock news.

Taylor Campbell Blog #2 spring dance show

On Thursday and Saturday night, Eastview held the spring dance show 2009. The theme was movies and each class had a song and dance that went along with a movie. There were songs from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, Ferris Bueler's day 0ff, Step up, center stage, slum dog millionaire, saw, dirty dancing, and titanic, just to name a few. Before almost every dance there was also a clip from the movie to let the audience know what dance the movie was from. WCCO channel 4 news was also there Saturday night, filming a story on how many boys get involved in dance at Eastview. It was cool to see the types of cameras and tripods they used. Overall the show was run smoothly and I think that everyone in the show, as well as the audience had tons of fun.

Paulus' Final Blog

On Friday night the Eastview lightning boy's lacrosse team traveled to Mounds View to battle un-defeated Minnetonka for the State Championship. The boys battled the entire game and ended up losing the game 12 to 10. The boys played well, but every time Eastview managed to put one in the net. Minnetonka would respond by putting one in as well. Scoring for the lightning included D.J. Schliesman, Andy Freeman, and Justin Vossen. Congratulations on a successful season. and good lick next year!
