🎨 Students at Hewes have been diving into the exciting world of 3D printing, sculpture, plastics, and recycling—all in one hands-on learning experience! 🖨️
With guidance from Mr. Turner, students explored STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts while learning how 3D printers work. They discovered the differences between Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol (PET-G) filaments, their applications, and how they can be recycled. ♻️
To bring their creativity to life, students even tested out 3D Doodler pens, thanks to the E2CCB Media Center! 🖊️
Amazing work, Hewes students! 👏

More than a dozen employees of Jamestown Engine Plant were recently treated to a spa day with the help of Cosmetology students at the LoGuidice Educational Center! 💇♀️ 💅 ✂️
The event, which supported Cummins’ Every Employee Every Community initiative and coordinated with the #E2CCB Grant Services team, allowed employees to earn engagement hours and support seniors in the Cosmetology program.
“I think events like this really build up confidence in students. It also helps them get ready for the workforce,” Cosmetology instructor Laura Lindquist said. “Collaborating also helps the community by giving them a fun experience.”
During the event at LoGuidice, Cummins employees were able to receive haircuts, manicures, pedicures, facials, and waxes.
“I thought this was a great opportunity for everyone,” said Pam Exley, administrative assistant at Cummins. “It was a chance for us to come in and relax a little bit.”

🌍 E2CCB Global Conversations: Connecting Students Worldwide! ✨
E2CCB’s Global Conversations program is bringing students together from across the world to share perspectives, discuss global issues, and build cultural understanding.
Brocton High School kicked off the series with a powerful conversation featuring students from Ukraine, and Holland High School has since joined, connecting with peers from Hong Kong, Uganda, Nigeria, and Taiwan!
“This is an amazing opportunity for our students to learn firsthand about different cultures,” said Michelle Swanson, Brocton’s World Culture teacher.
With monthly virtual sessions, students engage in meaningful discussions on global topics, including the United Nations’ 17 Goals, fostering empathy, collaboration, and critical thinking.

🎉🧦 Rock Your Socks for World Down Syndrome Day! 🧦🎉
Friday, E2CCB proudly joined the global celebration of World Down Syndrome Day by rocking our brightest, boldest, and most mismatched socks! Why socks? Because chromosomes are shaped like socks — and on 3/21, we celebrate the extra 21st chromosome that makes people with Down syndrome wonderfully unique. 💙💛
Our students, staff, and community came together to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and show that different is beautiful. 💫
To everyone who rocked their socks with us — thank you for spreading love, acceptance, and positivity. Let’s continue to build a world where everyone belongs! 💙💛
