This week is National Suicide Prevention Week and East High School is joining in. Student assembly had many different methods for spreading the word, including the cookout that took place at lunch. Student assembly grilled hot dogs, provided chips, macaroni and cheese, lemonade and even featured doughnuts from Donut Central.
