Projects, 574-235-5855 c. 574-876-1564 <br /> <br />EBA – Eagles for a Better Adams <br /> <br />South Bend, IN: <br /> Students from Adams High School have formed a new, student <br />organization – EBA – Eagles for a Better Adams. Members of the Adams H.S. Marching Band <br />and other students came up with the idea to form an organization that is committed to fostering <br />student pride in John Adams High School and encouraging courtesy, teamwork, and cooperation <br />in all aspects of student life along with a commitment to community service. <br />Tomorrow, Thursday, October 23, EBA will be working on a cleanup project at <br />Potawatomi Park. Ten students, along with Dean of Students Alan Bell, will meet at Kid’s <br />Kingdom at approximately 11:30/11:45 am to start the cleanup. Armed with trash bags and a <br />great attitude, they will work through the park area for the cleanup effort. <br />This is their second project this year, last week they did a similar cleanup along the East <br />Race and at Howard Park. EBA plans to continue similar projects throughout the school year <br />including a visit to Karl King Towers to meet and visit with residents and a visit to Hamilton <br />School to read with students. <br />The goals of EBA are to make John Adams a safe, clean high school, to instill friendship <br />among students, to promote leadership skills of its members and pride in John Adams. The <br />organization also seeks to turn 2,000 individuals into one school body that is proud of JAHS! <br />-30- <br />
