EGHS/MS Students Help Their Community

The EG Leaf Brigade takes a break between lawns.

RAKE LAWNS IN GJ, SUPPORT
GREENE COUNTY FOOD PANTRY

Students at East Greene High School and Middle School have been busy with community outreach this autumn season.

High school students fanned out in Grand Junction on Thursday, Nov. 3, to rake the lawns of 10 residents and the high school lawn on 12th Street.

At Halloween, the Art Club and Student Council sponsored a dance at the high school for both middle school and high school students. Admission to the dance was a canned food item for the Greene County Christian ARC food pantry in Jefferson. Students who did not bring cans paid an admission charge and those funds also went to the food pantry.

The EG students collected 199 cans of food and $44 for the food pantry, reports Darren Jackson, EGHS media and English teacher. Jackson and Julie Kennedy, EGHS family and consumer science teacher, coordinated the leaf raking project.

EYE ON GJ SAYS: Great job, East Greene students!!
