Upper School students (9th, 10th, 11th grades) enjoyed mid-week visits to either Gleaners Food Bank in Detroit or Lighthouse in Pontiac where they assisted with packing boxes or helped clean apartments in preparation for new tenants.
Each year, Gleaners distributes millions of pounds of food through a network of partner pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, senior centers and other agencies that directly feed hungry people, while Lighthouse in Pontiac provides housing assistance and supportive services to families looking to rebuild or start anew.
Engaging in volunteer service initiatives help Eton students develop civic and social responsibility skills while empowering them to make a difference in the community.
The start of the new school year brings with it a change in leadership for the middle school. Meet Jamila Steward—she's a ball of energy bursting with ideas with 23 years of experience. She brings with her a background in student growth and development. Jamila is committed to child-centered education, where innovation and 21st-century skills are taught and exercised.
As an educator and a psychotherapist, Jamila understands students' social and emotional well-being is essential, especially during these times. She's a hands-on leader who looks forward to being fully integrated into the classrooms and happenings of our middle school community.
Please Submit Photos for the 2020-2021 School Yearbook
Each year, Eton puts together the school yearbook, comprised of student portraits and photos submitted by parents, teachers, and family members. We need your help to show off what students have been up to throughout the year.
If you've taken photos at any of the virtual events or classroom parties, please share your best shots for possible inclusion in the Yearbook.
We suggest that photos be at least 300 dpi (which means, most files under 1 MB won't have enough detail for printing).
To help us out, please follow these guidelines:
Send files of at least 300+ dpi or 1+ MB
Please include the student name, age, and teacher
Send via email as file attachments (or file share link) to Ricky Tevdoski: rtevdoski@etonacademy.org
Or, if they are too big, you can share files using Google Share
