Good afternoon. We hope everyone is having a great summer so far. We have received some calls about sports schedules and have decided to add a section for sports schedules on our website at https://www.eureka.k12.sd.us/documents/2025---2026-sports-schedules/824961. This is under the 2025 - 2026 Sports Schedules section in the documents. Reminder that these schedules often get changed for unexpected reasons, but they should be a good start for those interested. Thank you.
Today is the final day we will be accepting early registrations for the Girls Thunder Basketball Camp for grades 3-8! T-shirts are only guaranteed for early registrations. Late registrations will be accepted, but just won't receive a t-shirt. You can email Coach Vander Vorst at kaci.vandervorst@k12.sd.us if you want to register and send the payment yet this week. $30 for early registration and $40 for late registration. For questions, please contact Coach Vander Vorst.
