Reading has never felt so good - Support ECHS Speech & Debate at Pegasus Books – Jan 24–30
Negar Souza
--Hello El Cerrito HS Community,
Happy New Year! Wishing you all a joyful 2026 filled with great reads, lively conversations, and maybe a few friendly debates.
We invite you to support the ECHS Speech & Debate Team at Pegasus Books!
From Saturday, January 24 through Friday, January 30, a portion of every book sale at Pegasus Books (the wonderful independent bookstore on Solano in Berkeley) will directly support the El Cerrito High Speech & Debate Team!
With Lunar New Year celebrations, Valentine’s Day around the corner, and ongoing debate about access to diverse books, there's no better time to give (or treat yourself to) the gift of reading. Whether it's an inspiring novel, a thought-provoking nonfiction title, a poetry collection, or something to spark curiosity and conversation, your purchase helps fuel our team's travel, tournaments, and growth.
How to help:
- Shop in person at Pegasus Books on Solano (1855 Solano Ave, Berkeley) or online at pegasusbookstore.com.
- At checkout, simply mention or enter “El Cerrito High” (or “El Cerrito High Speech & Debate”) to ensure the donation is credited to us.
Every book bought during this week makes a difference—thank you for supporting our students as they find their voices, sharpen their critical thinking, and compete with excellence.
Gratefully yours, Your favorite argumentative friends on the ECHS Speech & Debate Team
