EGHS student Paige Smith is entered to win a trip to distribute TOMS shoes to children in need.
I first heard of TOMS when I was in 7th grade and was casually flipping through a magazine in the dentist’s office. I remember that it was an interview with the company’s fearless founder, Blake Mycoskie. It seemed interesting enough, so I read on. At the conclusion of that article, Blake’s unwavering passion to improve the lives of others not only touched me immensely, but inspired me to want to do the same. And it all starts with shoes. TOMS shoes has a revolutionary business model, around the theme of One for One. This essentially means that for every pair of shoes purchased, a pair is given to a child in need. This immediately captured my enthusiasm, and encouraged me to purchase my own pair of TOMS. As I wore that first pair until …

The gift from the Class of 2012 – a nearly life-size knight on a horse – has been delivered and is just inside the gates of Carcieri Field awaiting its permanent placement.
It's sitting just inside the gates of Carcieri Field, a 600-pound, 11-foot-tall statue of an Avenger on a rearing horse – the gift of the Class of 2012. The class recalled by their advisors at graduation last June as being larger than life has left a gift that will ensure they will not soon be forgotten. The metal statue came from Wynn Betts in Colorado. It was sent to Texas to have the Avenger welded in place and then driven across country in a U-Haul. It arrived in January. "I feel this was the perfect gift for our Class of 2012 to give to the school," said Chris Millman, class treasurer, via email. "By our senior year, we truly embodied the school spirit of true Avengers. It is symbolic for the growth and ability that all students …
