Rayka Barbosa is one of the Students of the Week for September 30th. Rayka always comes to school with a big smile on her face and ready to work, no matter how bad of a day she is having. She always tries to cheer up others if she sees they are down, and brings a smile to everyone around her. Rayka will also translate words and phrases into Portuguese for us, and help her peers make outside pop culture connections to the academic material. She is a great student and I am so glad to have her in my class! Congratulations, Rayka! #LionPride

Congratulations to Natalie Carter on being named one of our Students of the Week for September 30th. Natalie Carter is the ideal business student at Fort Zumwalt East. A mind that is curious and always wanting to learn more. If you are ever hungry, I'd recommend Natalie's Sandwiches to satisfy your needs!

Oh, on top of all that she does outside of school, she still has time to take 2 AP classes during her senior year. Natalie is definitely going to be one of the alumni from East High that makes us proud! #LionPride

Logan Lucas is one of our Students of the Week for Sept. 23rd. His teacher states: In addition to always engaging well in class discussions and encouraging others to do so through his example, Logan has shared some of his abilities in creating 3D printed sculptures that are pure pieces of art. His talent is on par with any that I've seen in production of sculptures of this type and found natural tie ins to our class discussion that made sharing and updating me on his progress of these projects sensible. I'm thankful he's provided me the opportunity to develop a relationship with him, and to get to see a window into is life beyond the classroom. Congratulations Logan! #LionPride
