- April 10th ERHS hosted the first successful 2nd Night Pep Rally. This event, called Don Games, was held in the Old Gym and succeeded in its goal of boosting school spirit in the Spring. The school was divided with seniors and freshmen on the blue team represented by the Don and juniors and sophomores on the gray team, represented by the horse. Many students showed up to Don Games, and, after a series of challenges, the blue team was victorious. In the week leading up to Don Games there were many friendly pranks between teams and a spirit week to rally spirit even more. All the festivities led up to the weeklong Spring Break.
