From the addition of a Victory Garden, to the schools recycling club, ERHS has proven that they are ready to officially go green. ERHS has officially been approved as a certified green school, and will receive the certification and green flag on May 22nd. The certification lasts for four years, at which time ERHS will have to reapply.
US History, AP Human Geography, and sponsor of the ERHS environmental club, Mrs.Stern was contacted by Mr.Belle at the Schmidtt Center for Environmental Education who was willing to donate trees to our school. This past Thursday, May 7th ,2015 many students helped assist in planting the trees, including students from Ms.Howell’s AP Environmental Science class, Coach Green’s Physical Training classes, Mr.Eisenberg’s Integrated Science class, Mr.Secker’s SGA class, and Ms. Stern’s AP Human Geography and U.S. History classes. Several other teachers also donated digging equipment, including Ms.Heiman and Mr.Hendley. The trees were planted in front of the school building,which not only provides shade to the parking lot and adds more native trees to school grounds, but also improves the overall aesthetic of the school.

I bought 6 spitfire alstroemerias from you in February 2018 but none of them have come through. As we grow and sell these flowers and also planted other varieties from other suppliers which all came through I am very disappointed with yours. I would like a refund of my money and await your comments. Yours Sheila Wilcox

I think you have the wrong address – we don’t sell anything; this is a high school newspaper. If this is for a fundraiser run through the school, you could try calling the school at 301-513-5400.
