NEWS FOR TODAY
 
Jordan Maywald has been in charge of his family's Christmas decorations since he was nine. Each year since, Jordan, now 23, has added more to the light display that has turned their Austin property into a holiday destination.
 
"It started very small, just a few things in our front yard," he tells Southern Living. "Over the years I expanded across much of our property and now it covers about 3.5 acres."
For the past seven years, the Maywalds have used their famous light display to raise money for Make-A-Wish Central and South Texas.
 
This year, they welcomed more than 15,000 visitors, raising more than $80,000 to fund 10 wishes. To date, the display has raised nearly $200,000 and granted 27 wishes. Each time a wish is granted, Jordan adds a reindeer to the mix.
 
"Helping these children is what Christmas is all about for us," he tells Southern Living. "We will continue to put up our display yearly to help grant life changing wishes!"

There is only 1 school day remaining in the first semester of the school year. A reminder to all students that the second semester begins on Tuesday, January 18th.
 
You will not be receiving a paper copy of your 2nd semester schedule this year.  Instead, you should be sure to check it out through the PowerSchool portal asap.  You can do this by clicking on “My Schedule” from the menu on the left side of the home screen.  Then click on the “Matrix View” Tab which is located above your schedule.  The default is “week view” – which shows this week only.  Beginning Monday, you will see your 2nd semester classes by default.
   
If you want to add a course in place of a study hall, check the open class listing which is available on the EHS Counseling webpage, and Schoology message your counselor with the name of the course and the period that you are switching with a study hall.
   
If you changed your mind and wish to drop a course, we need you to have your parent email your counselor with the requested change.
