EVAN MONTEITH ON MTV

It's official!  MTV has started filming a full episode for Evan Monteith, EHS student, who will be featured on this season of MADE!  She wants to become a kicker for the football team, and she attended her first practice last night!  She will have a camera crew following her around all this week and all summer.  Should be exciting!

MTV's MADE is a self-improvement reality television series.  The series follows teens who have a goal and want to be "made" into something like singers, athletes, dancers, skateboarders, etc. 

Good luck to Evan on this exciting opportunity.
