Big Little Eagle Eagle ECS Seniors take steps to impact school community. “We want our Big Eagle to play football with us!” shouted a group of fifth graders when their teacher told them about “Big Eagle, Little Eagle,” a program in which ECS seniors partner with lower school students to develop unique relationships and to serve the school community. “The main purpose of ‘Big Eagle, Little Eagle’ is to impact the younger children in our school by serving them. At the same time, we set out to create a program that would allow real relationships to begin and grow. We think it’s really important for kids to see that even as you get older, serving others should be a big part of your life,” explains a senior class officer.

How does “Big Eagle, Little Eagle” actually work? The Big Eagle group is divided into two crews, one for each lower school branch. The crews assist with events at that campus throughout the year. Within these crews, the Big Eagles have been divided so that each lower school class has the opportunity to develop a relationship with at least one senior. Each crew will lead at least two chapels for their lower school during the school year. Seniors are diligently working to leave a lasting legacy at ECS with unforgettable friendships and experiential knowledge as the fruit of their labor.
