KTLO graciously allowed EAST students Marlee, Maggie, and Brantley to record a radio commercial advertising Pinkston Showcase that will take place on May 4th from 5:30-7:00 pm. Pinkston Showcase is an event that raises funds that go 100% directly to students. These funds help support events such as American Graffiti Day, Chocolate Day, and other rewards/incentives for the students! Along with being a fundraiser, students have the opportunity to show off their hard work from their classes at the event!
Pinkston Showcase: May 4 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Our dedicated, amazing volunteers are essential to our district. We could not serve our students and the community in the ways that we do without each of you! Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! We appreciate you this week and always!
