A big shout out to East's very own Prostart culinary class who partnered with district nutrition services to create our new "Build Your Own Burrito Bowl" school lunch option that debuted on Wednesday. They were a hit! Many staff and students tried the new items and had great things to say. One student said, "It was nice to have a new option with fresh ingredients. It wasn't like the usual school lunch. I liked having something different."

1st semester report cards are available to view in the Infinite Campus portal and app.

The members of the East High Girls Inc. club are true leaders. This year, a group of six Girls Inc. members made it their mission to address the gaps in period product accessibility within their own school. The goal: put period products and trash receptacles in all East High bathrooms, regardless of the bathroom's assigned gender. The team's work will help give students of all gender identities access to these necessary hygiene products while also working to destigmatize period care for all through education and practice. 

FoodShare members have been getting extra benefits each month because of a federal program during the COVID19 pandemic. That program is ending, and starting in March 2023, families will continue to get their regular benefits. Learn more >>>

Additionally, East offers many food resources. The free Snack Fridge in Room 142 (the Culinary Classroom) provides students and staff snacks and groceries before school, during passing time, during lunch, or after school to grab a snack and/or groceries to take home. Check out more food resources at East. Any student or family concerned about food insecurity is encouraged to reach out to a East High School Social Worker.

During the month of February, East's Black Student Union (BSU) will be teaming up with Boulders Climbing Gym as their featured Climb for a Cause partner! Climb for a Cause is a part of Boulders Climb4Community initiative which aims to break down barriers, both financial and cultural, to climbing. On February 1st, all intro packages at Boulders will be only $12 (half off), and 100% of the proceeds from that sale will go to East’s BSU to help fund the Historical Black College & University (HBCU) Spring Break Tour. For the remainder of the month, just say our unique promo code: "HBCU" for $5 off your Day Pass or Intro Package (with $5 from your pass benefiting us), and donate throughout the month to receive a free sticker. The Intro Package includes all-day all necessary rental gear and an orientation to the facilities, so no experience or gear is necessary, and it will give you access to both locations for the entire day. Show up to get active, or just to try something new, and benefit our organization while you're at it. Waivers are required to climb or spectate, and can be found on the Boulders Gym website.

Students who are interested MSCR’s February 8th Ski and Snowboard Trip should submit their registration form and payment to Office 1040K by Wednesday, February 1st.
