Eastside High School seniors recently participated in a voting information session to learn more about civic responsibility and the importance of participating in the democratic process.

Students heard from local election and government officials about voter participation and had the opportunity to interact with voting machines, gaining first-hand insight into how elections work.

Experiences like these help prepare students to become informed, engaged citizens in their communities.

Check out our October Self-Care Calendar!

October is a month of transformation. We begin to trade the warmth of summer days for the crisp—and sometimes cozy—nights of autumn. Around us, the trees begin to reveal their vibrant colors, showing us that change can be both beautiful and necessary. As nature begins its seasonal transformation, it invites us to pause and consider our own.

A heartwarming gift of support came to School 7 on September 24, as Nordstrom Rack and Operation Warm partnered to provide brand-new coats to every student during a special coat distribution event.

Led and coordinated by School 7 Principal Pamela Powell and staff, in partnership with community sponsors, the distribution brought comfort, confidence, and smiles to students across the school.

We are grateful to Operation Warm and all of our community partners for helping keep our students warm and showing them that their community cares!
