EHS ALUMNI PANEL
EHS Alumni keep close
ties with the School. This June, a group of 8 EHS graduates
 in
high school and college gathered to form our annual Alumni Panel.
They shared their high school and college experiences with current
EHS students and their families. The third summer of Brooks
Fellowships for Community Service has kicked off with 20 participating
alumni ranging from the classes of 2000 to 2007. These graduates
are awarded stipends for using their summer breaks to work at
non-profit and community organizations.

THE
EAST HARLEM SCHOOL BROKE GROUND!
 The
children, staff, and faculty of The East Harlem School were
joined on October 20, 2006 by dedicated supporters to celebrate
the beginning of construction on our future home. Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer spoke
eloquently about the School and joined trustees in shoveling
away the first patches of ceremonial soil. To commemorate this
historic event, students presented a time-capsule filled with
letters addressed to future classes of EHS. The celebration
continued with a small reception at our temporary home, one
block from the original Exodus House site. There, Harlem Congressman
Charles Rangel addressed the assembly and joined in the festivities
of the day!
