The East LMC Celebrates November's Native American Heritage Month with resources and book titles by Native Voices. Featured in the slideset are some of the newest titles to East by Indigenous authors.

Last week, East hosted a College and Career Night centered around apprenticeships and employment. We want to thank WRTP / BIG STEP and ETC for being our guest speakers and discussing the opportunities they have for our students and how to go about finding jobs in industry. We have provided the recording of the meeting for any of you that would like to view. There are chapters so you may skip ahead and also a link to our College & Career Slides to see what opportunities East High School has in the near future.

Did you see the Día de los Muertos Altar in the Mall at East that our Centro Hispano Escalera students created? Día de los Muertos is a time to celebrate life, the life of our past loved ones, honoring our ancestors. We do this by inviting their spiritual presence back to the living world during October 31-November 2nd. We welcome them here by placing their favorite foods and drinks at the altar so they can nourish after a long trip back here and back to the after life.

Did you also know that East is hosting a Día de los Muertos Performance & Fundraiser this month? The event is presented by East High School's Raza United and Maria Diaz Ballet Folklorico on Saturday November 11, 2023 in East’s Margaret Williams Theater. We are excited for an amazing show with beautiful singers and colorful dancers!
