Our ESES and ESMS EAST Student Champions spent the day at the AGFC J.B. and Johnelle Hunt Family Ozark Highlands Nature Center in Springdale for student training! They learned best practices for supporting EAST programs and how to serve as mini-facilitators in their classrooms.

Keep an eye out for Isaac and Maven in the elementary school and Christian and Reagan in the middle school — pictured here with EAST staff members Troy DeBill and Breanna Burris — as they help lead their teams to success this year!

✨ Community Effort Fuels Our Drive! ✨

The Annual ESHS FBLA Thanksgiving Food Drive, which was successfully kicked off last week by our FBLA members, received a huge boost this week from the local Rotary Club!

We are incredibly grateful to Rotary members—President Dakota Linder, Treasurer Corben Brand, Molly Arnold, and Cavan Kerlin—for dropping off Thanksgiving Baskets. Thank you for setting a fantastic example of community service!

We are calling on all students, staff, and residents to join Rotary and the ESHS FBLA in supporting this effort!

Please refer to the attached flyer for a complete list of non-perishable food items needed. Bring your generous donations to the ESHS High School office by Friday, November 14th. Let's work together to ensure every family has a warm holiday meal!
