Picture Book Project |
| Students from Creative Writing classes write original stories for their picture books. They come to the library and are paired with Art Students who illustrate the tales. They are bound and later some of the English students go to the elementary school and read the books to the primary students. It is a great opportunity for creativity, collaboration, speaking and presentation. It's a Win Win all around. |
 |
The elementary students LOVE listening to the high school students read their books |
 |
Poet-Tees In celebration of National Poetry Month in April, students spend a day in the LMC adding poetry and artwork to tee shirts. |
 |
 |
Hometown Heroes |
| In commemoration of Memorial Day, local veterans are invited to come to East Senior and speak with our students. The veterans are from all wars including WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Afghanistan and Iraq. They share their military stories in a small group atmosphere where students listen and are encouraged to ask questions. It is a great learning experience for our students and an honor for the building to have these dedicated soldiers share their experiences. |
