EHCA KIPPERS

Welcome to the EHCA chapter of KIPPERS. KIPPERS stands for "Kids In Pearland Preserving the Environment through Responsible Service." In addition to our school recycling program, we meet monthly to learn about conservation and recycling. Our KIPPERS also strive to impact their community by volunteering once a month at a Keep Pearland Beautiful sponsored event. You can contact Shannon Martin, KIPPERS Sponsor, at smartin@eagle-heights.org
