Handel’s has THE BEST SEASONAL (and standard) flavors to go with your Thanksgiving and Christmas desserts!

As always, your participation in these fundraisers helps us to provide fun giveaways for the students and nice lunches for our staff appreciation events. We cannot thank you enough for your support!
Post Prom
All Night Grad Party (aka Post Prom)
We, the parent community of East (meaning ALL PARENTS, not just senior parents), want to celebrate our seniors and offer a safe, drug and alcohol free space that our kids/young adults can spend time with their friends and celebrate the end of their time in high school. This is a MAJOR event which takes months of planning. We would especially love to have Junior parents join us in order for the upcoming graduating class send off and celebrate the current graduating class.
- If you have a certain skill set that may be helpful we would love to have your input and assistance!
- Please sign up if you are interested in helping with future planning of this event!
