Some of our student leaders in the High School Unified Club made their way down to Parkdale Elementary yesterday for service learning day to partner with our kindergarten students and teach them about what it means to include. They participated in six stations that taught them about working together, including everyone, and embracing and celebrating differences. The team then left Parkdale and made their way down Main Street to talk to local businesses about the WNY Polar Plunge to advertise for our efforts in raising money for our local Special Olympics when some of our club takes the plunge in December.

In library class, Mrs. Bosela's class read Mr. S by Monica Arnaldo. Afterward, we emailed the author to find out the secret identity of the titular character, Mr. S! The Canadian author/illustrator not only replied, but sent us a cool, handmade sandwich greeting card. If you want to know Mr. S's real name, you'll have to read this book yourself!

💙 More moments from Service Learning Day! Our students continued to show what it means to care for others and give back. At St. Luke’s Mission, they helped prepare food for those in need, and at Knox Farm, they rolled up their sleeves to empty a building and lend a hand.

We’re so proud of their hard work, compassion, and commitment to serving the community. #oneEA

💙 At EA, we believe education is about more than academics—it’s about shaping kind, responsible citizens who give back to their community.

Our 12th and 11th grade students spent Service Learning Day lending a hand across WNY:
🏟️ Cleaning the stadium & painting tables at school
🐴 Helping at Knox Farm with barn cleanup & landscaping
🍎 Packing food at St. Luke’s Mission
🌱 Serving at the ROC (Rural Outreach Center)
🏠 Supporting the Ronald McDonald House with meal prep, cleaning, landscaping & organizing toys

And many more local entities!!

We are so proud of our students for stepping up, working hard, and showing what it means to be part of the EA family. #oneEA#servicelearningday #eaproud

Today, the High school welcomed Duncan Kirkwood to kick off our celebrations with an inspiring talk about grit and perseverance. His message reminded our students that determination and resilience are the keys to achieving big goals—on the field, in the classroom, and in life.

What a powerful way to start our Homecoming week! 🏈🎉

EAMS 8th grade had a "BLAST" this week! Students showed off their engineering skills working through the design process, from brainstorming and sketching to building and testing their pop bottle rockets. Today was the big day—launch day! We saw some fantastic designs soar into the sky. It's amazing to see how much effort and thought went into each rocket.
