EHS was one of the 213 schools around the country participating in the Green Cup Challenge. The Challenge is a program of the Green Schools Alliance, made up of students from public, private and independent schools all around the country coming together to take action on climate change and the environment. The 5th grade recently participated in a Colonial Era Exhibition. Students were separated into groups studying colonial architecture, food, clothing, medicine, trades, entertainment, chores, education and laws. Students collected more than $1,200 in the Pennies for Peace Project, which will help build schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Battery recycling has come to EHS. There are special bins located in our foyer. The 6th grade went to the Kirk Douglas Theater to see “Darwin,” a tale of the scientist and his creation. The story was told using puppetry, technology and dance.

Delina Yemane (Class of 2012) was selling Valentine’s Day grams for students to send to teachers, friends, or that special someone. Part of the proceeds were donated to buy food and supplies for earthquake victims in Haiti. Not only has Pilgrim been on a sugar rush from candy this month, we’ve been crazy for fruit! Tasty Tuesday has brought us organic local fruits to try. During morning meeting, a new fruit is introduced and a sample is given to students.
