Thank you to Wayne Lee, hypnotist extraordinaire, who put in a great show for the OSA students on Friday. This was part of the annual Ignite-a-thon Fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders. Still time to donate to this worthy cause. Ever to Excel! @epsbnews @hypnotistwaynelee

Today as part of the Ignite-A-Thon fundraiser, students paid to tape Mr Ye and Ms Leung onto a wall. They managed to defy gravity and raise a lot of money while doing it. Thanks to everyone who donated to the cause. Ever to Stick! @epsbnews

Congrats to our Sr Reach For The Top team who took home the consolation bracket championship at the National Reach For The Top championships this weekend. The team got stronger as the tournament proceeded. Great job by each of the players. Ever to Excel!
