  • MOvember at East-West

    December 9, 2013 - 2:11pm

    On November 25, 2013 staff and students donned mustaches in support of MOvember to raise awareness and funds for Men's heath such as Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, and Men's Mental Health.  Our esteemed Social Studies teacher, Mr. Oppenheim, supplied fake MOustaches to our students and encouraged discussion during advisory in order to bring about a better understanding of health and charity fundraising in general as being part of an engaged citizenry. 

    In recognition of Men's Health Awareness Month. Staff and students unite in raising awareness and funds for Men's health.

    East-West students participated with our community organizations, Queensboro Neighborhood Association and Green Earth Urban Gardens, to clean up Bowne Playground in Flushing. They spent their Saturday morning sprucing up the playground, painting the park benches and play areas as well as planting daffodils in anticipation for Spring.

    The video was produced by Thad Komorowski.

    East-West Alumni Maximus Poumie has been all over the world since he graduated from East-West 3 years ago. I would get random phone calls from London, Chicago, Thailand, Netherlands, and now Africa. If you are wondering how he is doing, he has been in Africa, following artists to speak their personal stories. He is going to Italy next to document other Africans and their stories. This is his first short documentary. He is the executive producer of this grand project.

    Max Poumie was our school's first student government president.
