EGHS Wins 1st and 2nd Place for RI in eCybermission Contest
From Mr. Rath- I am pleased to let the EGHS community know that two teams from EGHS have won both 1st and 2nd place in Rhode Island for the national eCybermssion contest sponsored by the AEOP (Army Educational Outreach Program). This is a science competition that my students enter as it is designed to give students in grades 6-9 exposure to STEM.
The first place team winners have each won a $1000 US savings bond while second place winners
have each won a $500 US saving bond. The first place team investigated how teens can be negatively influenced and lured by groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS) while the second team investigated the thermal insulating capacity of various materials.
The students are as follows:
First Place: Celia Adams, Kalie Bremer, Maris Nicastri, Ross Simeral
Second Place: Sophie Barone, Mara DeCesare, Madeline Morin
Congratulations to each team member!

Student Group Seeks to Win Grant to Start Garden at EGHS
PLANTING CHANGE: Seed by Seed
Mission Statement: We hope to help children who are struggling with obesity learn how to eat healthy and be physically fit. We want our ideas to spread to other schools across the country. Also, on a larger scale, we want every school in Rhode Island to have access to the EGHS ‘garden template’.
Idea: We want to create a community garden where students can learn about the environment and healthy eating. We want to put up signs to educate about it and use the vegetables in our school cafeteria. We would explain the difference between GMO, organic, and processed foods to make kids aware of what they are eating.
To help Seed by Seed fulfill their mission, they are looking to win a "Seeds for Change" grant. You can vote for them by clicking here. Voting ends on April 18, 2016
