Lapeer East seniors present research, community service projects Thursday

More than 200 Lapeer East High School seniors presented research projects to classrooms at the school on Thursday, April 16th.

The projects, which included topics on politics, music, health, world affairs, sports, gambling and the military, are part of the senior English requirement.

In addition to the research, writing and presentation of the paper to another class of their peers, students are required to do 15 hours of community service in the topic of their choice.

Students use electronic, graphic and verbal presentations to aid in their talks.

An earlier round of presentations were made in February.

"Our students have worked long and hard on these projects and have learned a great deal in doing the research," said Mr. Bill Spryutte, East English teacher who has supervised many of the projects. "Many of our teachers look forward to having the students come to their classes and make the presentations."

To see photos of some of the presentations go to the District's photo gallery.
