East

The school store is an integral part of East’s culture, and although many students purchase food and drinks from it daily, no one has ever before conducted an objective and thorough analysis of the store’s bountiful fare. On December 1st, we purchased one of every snack and beverage available and ranked them according to value and quality. It was an experience that has left us fundamentally altered, both physically and spiritually. We have braved unspeakable things for the sake of science. We faced these eldritch horrors in order to bring truth to the common man at East.

WE are back. We are getting back into the groove with school and we just finished off our fall sports with very successful seasons. As the snow rolls in, so do our indoor sports. We have basketball, bowling, cheerleading, ice hockey, indoor track, wrestling, and boy's swimming, and all are ready to have great seasons.

Winterfest is finally back to Williamsville East! The festive concert is being held on the 21st and 22nd for the first time since 2019. There will be two half shows during assemblies on the 21st, one in the morning for Transit Middle students and the other in the afternoon for East’s student body and staff. Full shows will take place on the nights of the 21st and 22nd. Come and see the incredible, talented musicians perform!

Earlier this year, the Biden Administration delayed the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan to September 11th. Mentions of the withdrawal date all the way back to the Obama Administration, but it was only finalized this September. Many fears arose that the Taliban would regain control, and these fears became reality on the days leading up to August 15th, when Taliban fighters took control of the Afghan presidential palace in Kabul.

I was so honored and touched to receive the Torch from a woman as kind, hard-working and successful as Mrs. Schapp!  I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone else from the bottom of my heart, for the congratulations about receiving the torch, but also for all the appreciation and kindness you have all expressed to me on a daily basis throughout the school year.

It's time for a recap of all the fall sports here at East. Congratulations to everyone on another great season!
