Students participated in the Design and Creative Media Bookjacket Design Project where they were challenged to redesign an existing bookjacket. They read the book for content and to understand the genre, main points, and subtleties. They research and sketch out ideas and formally meet with their client - the librarians. Together, they choose a direction that visually describes the book's genre and creates reader interest. Using industry-standard software, students design and produce a new book jacket that is entered into a design contest. This year, categories and winners were - Designers Choice: Jonathan Rakoto Razafy (Slam), Librarians Choice: Lucia Clark (Serafina), and People's Choice: Jay Leuschner (Dune). The book is then circulated in the Essex High School Library's collection.

The Heavenly Food Pantry, located at the First Congregational Church on Main Street in Essex Junction, will be open to families residing in Essex, Essex Junction, and Westford on Monday, May 8, from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Beginning at 5:30, family members arriving will be given a number once they enter the Church building through the front door. They will then wait in the sanctuary before their number is called and they are registered and led to the Fellowship Hall. After being registered, a volunteer will greet and escort them around the pantry, allowing them to make selections of their choosing. Once the food is gathered, it will be weighed (information for pantry use only) and another volunteer will bring the food to the family’s vehicle. Shopping carts will be made available for those within walking distance of the pantry. As usual, there are no income requirements to visit the food pantry and a variety of food is available to everyone; however, additional food provided by the USDA is available once a month to eligible families who fall below federally mandated guidelines. Families not able to attend the pantry may call the Church office at 878-5745 between 9:00 a.m. and noon today and Monday to leave contact information (name, address, phone number) so arrangements for delivery can be made. A follow-up call to complete registration will take place on Monday. Families are currently able to visit the pantry each time it is open on the 2nd Monday of the month from 5:30-7:30 p.m. and the 4th Thursday of the month from 2:00-6:00 p.m. (except for November and December when it is the 3rd Thursday). The next food pantry distribution will occur on Thursday, May 25, from 2:00-6:00 p.m.

Athletic Leadership Council students from EHS visited EES to share their love of reading! The high school students read their favorite books to many EES classes. It was exciting and nostalgic for some high school students to return to their first and second-grade classrooms, too! πŸ“–πŸ€— #EWSD #4ward2gether
