On Wednesday, May 7, 2014, over 350 of the high school students took time away from their studies to help clean up around the community. More than 20 volunteer projects were planned for the event. These activities change every year and some of these include cleaning up at the Pioneer Village Museum, painting picnic tables, cleaning park grounds, maintenance work at city parks, helping out at the local humane society, and doing work around the school. E-day gives students the opportunity to gain community service experience, work together, and gives them a chance to help the environment. A local phone company called Mosaic Telecom supports the project by donating t-shirts to all the students who participate in the E-Day program. [5]
