Our story:
Our story:
EAST at Hellstern Middle School started in 2014. We have had many projects along the way, and several have continued through the years. Some have changed and evolved into even bigger projects. Each year we continue to add new projects and improve on the old. EAST students at Hellstern Middle School believe that traditions are important and that this is our family. Many students return to help new students with old projects and the new students are always eager to carry on the traditions of the students before them. Changing things together has become our mission and theme. We believe that one person can make a difference and with the help of our EAST '"family," we can change the world.

Accomplishments:
At EAST Conference 2019, we won the founders award. We represent this award by having _ amazing projects, _ hard working students, and one great facilitator, Ms. Pena. Eleven of our students went to conference the year we won founders. Each worked very hard to come up with a design, and make it happen. EAST cares more about the project and information, then the look. Thanks to this, we got into the finals and won the highest accomplishment an EAST program can achieve.
We have won many other accommodations through EAST, but our biggest accomplishment is the environment of a family that we have created and continue throughout our programs years. We have students in Har-Ber High School that continue to come back and check on "their" program.
Events:
9/11 Breakfast:
"9/11 breakfast" is a breakfast we provide for all first responders, run by EAST students. The students ask local breakfast restaurants and community partners for donations. In the morning all police officers and firefighters are delighted with a breakfast buffet, here at Hellstern. They can take food to go or sit and enjoy each other. We deliver food to all the stations that can't make it.
BBQ:
This is our 1 and only fundraiser. In which we raise money by selling tickets to our community. We invite them to a barbeque dinner that our EAST program hosts at our school—completely run by our EAST students.
EAST Night Out:
This night is a professional event in which we show off all our hard work to family, friends, and our school community. We explain what our projects and software are and what EAST is. It gives students the motivation to continue to work to be the best they can be.
