As an active member of our student council in which she was elected 7th grade president, she has hatched many great ideas, and her busy leadership activities haven't even hurt her grades. She is a Galileo Honor Student. Sara spearheaded the Galileo School food drive for the Eagle Food Bank. She also showed remarkable leadership in organizing a fund drive to help the victims in the Haiti earthquake. Thanks to Sara and others, Galileo students donated $1,066.19. Kevin Davis Kevin is the most awesome student the Eagle Academy has ever had. He makes every day better for everyone he comes in contact with, and that is not an easy task. Kevin received the Presidential Education Award, received a high score in the Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, was Student of the Year in English, and scored a perfect 100 percent in Humanities classes, making him number one in his class. Kevin is on the Meridian School District Youth Council, participated in O'Ambassadors for two years, is Speaker for Spring Assemblies, is host of the Fall Assembly, helped create the assembly to send one of Eagle Academy's teachers to Iraq, and is an office aide. Ryan Grether Ryan came to Eagle High School as a ninth grader. Always a force to be reckoned with in his class and a positive role model for other students, Ryan is well respected by staff and students alike. Ryan is a strong academic student and an extremely mature individual. He has excelled here at Eagle High School and augmented his course study with honors classes. His academic talents range from honors mathematics to honors science. He continues to challenge himself academically, because his essential quality is that of a life-long student. Ryan has taken a leadership role through the school newspaper, he volunteers his time running Jumpin Juice and Java during early morning and lunch shifts, and he is a staff selected member of the Link Crew, helping ninth grade students transition into the high school setting. Ryan is an elementary student assistant, volunteers with other students working to incorporate Rachel's Challenge into the school, and has worked with faculty and students to find strategies to help broaden the awareness around issues of diversity. Ryan is also a loyal friend and an extremely sensitive person. He does what he knows is right and does not worry about how others may judge him. This enables him to have tremendous freedom and to be happy and confident. His inner voice is strong, which is the source for his creative energy. Benjamin R. Herren Benjamin is a young man who has a tremendous amount of positive energy and a genuine eagerness to participate in rigorous academics, a burning desire to excel at long distance running, and an extremely strong work ethic and responsible nature. It is rare that one finds a student who is as unafraid of hard work as Ben is. He maintains an outstanding 3.9091 weighted GPA in a rigorous college prep course of study. He has matriculated through honors and advanced placement courses in English, science, social studies, mathematics, and foreign language, and intellectually he has produced su erior work. His ACT composite score of 33 places him in the top 99P percentile nationally, while he receives a selection index of 200 on his PSAT. Due in part to his excellent academic endeavors, Ben was inducted into the National Honor Society his junior year. Ben has balanced his outstanding academic record with his love of running. Ben is an endurance athlete, which means he is capable of blending strength and power together. Consistently Ben attended voluntary summer practices even though he works in downtown Eagle. Ben has matured through the world of running and will take his aptitude and endurance and use it on the challenges that still await him. Ben is loved by the student body at Eagle High School. He has more nick names — Superman, Benjamin Clark Kent — than is necessary, but he handles the adoration of the underclassmen with grace and wit. In whatever endeavors Ben chooses to follow, he will face the challenges of his future with a positive outlook, a rigorous work ethic, and a tremendous belief to overcome adversity and stay focused on his dreams. Scott Jones Eagle Middle School has been very lucky to have three years with this kind and caring young man. Scott has a great sense of humor and is always willing to share it with others. He is well respected by his peers and staff here at the school. He has been a dedicated athlete and student over the past three years. Scott has made tremendous strides and has worked exceptionally hard to become a successful contribution to the school climate. Scott is a student council member, and also participates in football, wrestling, and track. He is a Life Scout and is working toward his Eagle Scout. He has participated in volunteer projects two or three times a month since he was about eight years old. He also participates in the club wrestling program in Eagle. Justin Nesbitt Justin's quiet leadership is a very positive force at Galileo Math & Science School. He has involved himself in practically all activities at the school and always makes the school look great. He relates very well with his fellow students and encourages them to get involved with extracurricular activities, plus his busy life has not prevented him from earning top grades.

Civic Lane P.O. Box 1520 Eagle, Idaho 83616 Dear City Council President and Acting Mayor Huffaker, 125 Stierman Way Ste. B Eagle, Idaho 83616 16 March 2010 RECEIVED & FILED CITY OF EAGLE APR 12 2010 FILO• Route tre 1 am writing in regard to the Eagle City Sign regulations and in particular, how it applies to small businesses. I have been a resident of Eagle for over 16 years. My husband and I moved here because we loved the quiet and simple lifestyle Eagle had to offer. Since that time we hove seen a lot of change in our community - most of it for the better. We love this city so much and have invested time and money in our local church, schools, and for the last two years in a small retail business located across the street from the library, on the west side of Stierman Ave. We appreciate the efforts that the city has put forth in the area of sign regulation to keep our city from looking like Garden City or Vegas; but, small businesses also need to be able to have signs in areas that help the public find us. I am speaking specifically about the A frame signs. I have an A frame sign that I put out every day on the sidewalk by my store and it alone brings in about 5 new customers a week. I had a week long sale and I put the sign on the corner of State Street and Stierman. I informally polled my customers over a 5 day period and my sales were up around 20% due to the signage. I planned to leave the sign out through the end of the week however I got a call from the city and was told it could not be on State : it had to be adjacent to my property. A twenty percent increase in sales is huge for my business because we are in a non-traditional retail space and people are having difficulty finding us. I also have noticed plenty of non -conforming signs around town that are similar to mine . What I would ask you to consider is a temporary moratorium on A -frame sign regulations to allow us and other small businesses to utilize these types of signs to iricrease sales in these tough economic times. This would provide an opportunity for the City to evaluate the results of lifting these restrictions for a period of time. if there are no unintended consequences, perhaps a new policy allowing A -frame signs could be adopted. This is our second year in business and we have an awesome store. We provide a good service to our city and employ two people who would otherwise not have jobs. The problem is we may not be able to stay in this location if we cannot draw more attention to ourselves. Thank you for you j nti o thi atter, I look forward to your response. Respectfully, Dawn M.
