What students have to say about EAST.....
I have learned how to access and process information from the real world using Google. I have also learned to generate different creative text formats. This will allow me to be able to use my knowledge and ability to help people in a variety of ways. -Zach M.
EAST for me has been more than a regular high school class. EAST has taught me to be creative and think outside of the box with whatever I do. It has taught me relevant skills for the future, like how to write a resume or how to work with a team. -JT S.
EAST has been very beneficial to me and my future life. Such as I've already made a resume that I can use and keep updating throughout my life. I've also learned how to be more cooperative and helpful when it comes to working as a team. -Kayden V.
EAST was really fun, I met a lot of new people and was able to be a part of a class where I made new friends. -Anjelina L.
I have learned that we can accomplish things easier when we work in groups. In EAST I work with my fellow students to make the public environment a better place. The things we do in EAST have a lesson to deal with real problems. It creates problems within the class that "us" as students have to resolve. These solutions could be a bigger answer to the things that affect the world in a bad way. -Isaac L.
EAST was really fun this year, I learned a lot from our team building activities. You meet new people in EAST and make new friends. EAST is about having fun and working hard. -Nich S.
In all my years of EAST I have learned many things. The most important thing I learned is problem solving and helping a community. EAST trained me to find problems within my community, find solutions, and take action. This will vastly help me in the future. In my future careers, I will have to be able to solve problems within my profession, so EAST will help me be able to look for solutions and utilize tools to solve a problem. -James M.
EAST has been a huge thrill for me. I have done fun activites such as team building and projects. EAST has been the class where I have the opportunity to do these things that I wouldn't be able to do in other classes. -Zak J.
I have learned so much through the EAST program, and it has truly been a transformative experience for me. Through EAST, I have learned how to work collaboratively with my peers on complex projects that require critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity. I have also gained valuable experience with technology tools such as editing tools and 3D modeling, which will undoubtedly be useful for me in the future. Overall, EAST has taught me important skills that will help me succeed both in college and in my future career. -Kasey F.
EAST has taught me a lot of valuable lessons. I have learned new teamwork skills and strategies that could help me in the future. I have also learned how to solve problems and communicate with people in different/more helpful ways. EAST skills will help me work more efficiently with a team and get things done more efficiently. -Lauryn J.
When I think of EAST I think about a community coming together and working as a team. EAST is something you do with your class or the whole community. What EAST means to me is fun, partner work, and fixing things in the city that we as a school can fix. EAST is a countrywide thing and I love the projects Lonoke students come up with. -Kaleigh B.
EAST to me over this past year has meant working with people I wouldn't normally work with. I have made friendships in this class that will last me for years to come. It will help me in the future when I have to work with different people I don't know and to solve problems instantly to make the community better. I will definitely miss EAST when I graduate but I will really miss the friendships that I have built along the way. -Lindsey H.
