Congratulations to Olivia Walker on being named one of the Students of the Week for Feb. 10th. Olivia is a hard working, kind, funny girl who checks in on me every day. I recently shared with my students that this season is hard for me (since my father died on Christmas day). Olivia has asked me how I'm doing every day since. I think she is really empathetic and just the kind of kid we hope will lead us into the future. #LionPride

Jacob Phillips was named one of the Students of the Week for Feb. 10th by one of our faculty members. Jacob is a kind, hardworking, open person that brings a quiet goodness to every project and group he's part of. I know kids like him don't always get the recognition they deserve, so here goes.

If it seems that you've been hearing that a lot of your student's friends have been sick, you're not alone. Our team of school nurses has noticed it, too, and shares a few key reminders to help you and your student(s) stay healthy as we all look toward the end of cold and flu season.
1. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using the restroom and before eating.
2. When you need to cough or sneeze, do so into a tissue or your elbow
3. Stay home/keep your student home when feeling sick
Our nurses are so thankful to have you on their team as they work to keep our students and our schools healthy. Remember, you can find the graphic below any time on our website under Clinics, Health and Wellness.
Today at East High, ELA teachers focus their PLC time on aligning our curriculum, sharing instructional strategies, and analyzing student work to pinpoint learning gaps. They use data from assessments to adjust teaching methods and create targeted interventions. They also spend time developing or refining common assessments and discussing ways to integrate literacy standards across grade levels and text genres. This collaboration helps ELA teachers stay consistent and improve outcomes for East High students. #EdChat #PLC #TeachingExcellence

Congratulations to Anne Sankale on being named one of the Students of the Week for January 27th. When Anne walks out this door in May, she will be able to look back confidently on the trails she blazed and the legacy she left behind. She is a fierce woman of worth who uses her voice to include others--always. Being proud of her Kenyan heritage, she knew others in the school had amazing traditions as well. Thus, she worked to create a Multicultural Night, celebrating the many foods and customs of students in our school. She has also worked with STUCO to promote unified kickball and basketball, championing the inclusion and many talents of those with special needs. In her free time, she attends the UMSL Bridge Program and Federal Reserve Bank Student Board of Directors. Here she learned of many challenges of those applying to college and for scholarships. She conferences with me on the weekly, trying to problem solve ways we can collectively help alleviate the stress many high school students have about the college application process. Through TRACTION, she promotes safe driving habits...making sure everyone clicks their seatbelt before leaving our school. Every second of every day she is tirelessly thinking of ways to grow leaders in this school, empower underclassmen, and make our community better. She never says no, always searchers for answers, and is the solution to what sometimes ails society. She is crafted of different DNA. Watching her in action simultaneously tires me and inspires me. There is no one more deserving of this honor than Anne. Her handprints are littered all over the school, and I am sure her name will live on in East's storied history book forever.
Payton Oxford was named one of the Students of the Week for January 27th. Payton has exhibited respect and hard work in the therapy setting.

His peers have spoken highly of his ability to remain calm and develop plans of action during crisis moments. He is a great role model and student. Congratulations Payton!
Congratulations to Andrew Huebner on being named one of the Students of the Week for January 27th. There are times when the quieter students maybe don't stand out as much during the hustle and bustle of the school day. Andrew may be on the quieter side of our Accelerated Geometry class, but his presence stands out daily. His participation in notes, strong work ethic on his assignments, & full concentration on his assessments makes him shine brightly. Thank you, Andrew, for your positive attitude that you share with our class and keep up the great work!
