ECS we CAN
ECS 2nd graders have launched a district-wide initiative called “ECS, We CAN” as a part of their capstone project. With a goal to recycle 100,000 cans, we need your help! Students will earn $1 for the Primary school for every 58 cans they collect. Plus, the top three winning schools will receive between $1000 to $3000! These funds will support ECS Primary’s environmental literacy out-the-door education opportunities.
Here's how you can help:
Save aluminum drink cans.
Do not crush them.
Arrange for drop off at your building’s designated can drop off location.
ECS encourages and prefers adults to drop off aluminum cans.
If a student plans to transport aluminum cans themselves, they are not permitted to bring alcoholic cans.
Between now and April, ECS will also work with local businesses to collect aluminum cans, and we recognize that many of our ECS families own or work for local organizations that may be able to help increase our can collection. If your business is interested in contributing to the ECS We CAN project, please complete this form.
The ECS we CAN project is sponsored by PPG.
Student Spotlight
Congratulations to ECHS student Dae'Jour for his amazing work in the robotics field. Dae'Jour competed in a national robotics competition this summer where he placed among the best of the best. Additionally, Dae'Jour recently met with Google executives to discuss his field robot design. This is just the beginning for Dae'Jour, and we can't wait to see all the amazing things he continues to accomplish!
College Preparation
16 ECHS seniors attended the Infinite Scholars College Scholarship Fair last month, and every single student received an acceptance letter and/or scholarship money! Our students received a total of $272,500 in scholarship awards. Throughout the year, students will continue to attend college and career fairs. Students will also have the opportunity to tour various colleges such as the national HBCU Tour.
