EAWR Student Council sponsored a pumpkin painting party for students after school on Tuesday. All the students that participated had a great time and the pumpkins have been entered into a contest for students/staff to vote for their favorite.
Thank you to the guidance counselors for organizing the College and Career Night. We had a good turn out at the event.
College and Career Night is 5 to 7 PM in the Courtyard located in the East Building. They are starting to set up now, and there will be a variety of colleges/universities, military, and careers to speak with students and parents.
