[quote=Anonymous]I agree with everything the previous poster wrote and the poster's earlier comments.

Dr. Janney's plan was to improve the HS's first, then the middle schools.  So sad, too bad, he's long gone but you can see there was some wisdom in Janney's approach.  ES school parents participated in the CHPSPO Middle Schools project and one recommendation from parents in that MIDDLE SCHOOLS project was to develop a rigorous IB program at Eastern, with strong preparation (a kind of middle school IB program) at E-H.

Now, without a nod in the direction of that nascent IB program, those elementary school parents say Eastern isn't relevant, it's a lost cause, and none of their friends would consider E-H.  Not a shocker to read that, but sad.

I most emphatically agree with the previous poster that the 9th graders at Eastern were a wonderful bunch of kids in my every interaction with them this year.

The Garden Club at Eastern's greenhouse (re-opened this year after moldering in disuse for 35 years, even though their were only 9th graders to support the greenhouse Garden Club this year compared with all four classes all those previous years).  I know that's a small thing, but it's just one example of ways Eastern kids this year showed themselves to be bright, inquisitive, innovative, industrious, respectful and enjoyable.

I hope all the kids returning to Eastern this year have a great sophomore year under your inspiring principal.
