Several projects were on display at a Jonesboro school Tuesday night, showing off local students’ creativity and critical thinking skills when combating community issues.

Family members and community members visited the International Studies Magnet School on May 13 for EAST Night Out. The event highlights the students’ work and how they collaborate with organizations.

This year’s event was different from past ones because displays were put up across the entire school. EAST facilitator Carman Owens said previously, displays were only put up in a few rooms, like the library and cafeteria.
