What a great end to a fun Spirit Week! We wrapped up the good times with a pep rally to get us fired up for KSA testing, which starts next Wednesday. We know our students are ready to show what they know!
You know you have a good principal when your staff has him cloned!
Tomorrow is the big day! Don’t miss the EJMS Family Night Color Run this Friday! If you’re not into running, that’s okay! There’s something for everybody… lawn games, food trucks, face painting, bracelet making, karaoke and good times together! The first 100 to arrive (and probably more!) will get a free T-shirt, designed by your Sources of Strength peer leaders 💚💙🤍
Here is a chance to try out Guard for yourself at this Summer Kick Off Experience Camp on May 23!
Tryouts for girls b-ball are coming up!
We had two great visits with the 5th graders from two of our feeder schools, Red Oak and Warner, last week! Our newest Jags were able to hear our band and choir, get a tour of the school, hear more about their middle school schedule, and learn all the different ways to get involved! Families, mark your calendars for May 7 for your turn to come in.
Information about Mrs. Marksberry's Culinary Camp! This always fills up fast, so act quickly!
Meet our Dance Team Coach!
Hello! My name is Mckenzie Banta. I teach 6th grade writing, and I’m so excited to coach our dance team for the ‘24-‘25 school year. Years ago, I tried out for the EJMS dance team as a fifth grader and had a full 7 year dance career. I met my best friend, learned about what it means to be apart of a team, and made so many unforgettable memories. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to continue to support our Jaguars from the sidelines! Go Jags! 💙💚
Dear EJMS Family and Friends -
We had a great weekend with eighth grade semiformal and then EJMS Oscars with our teachers (huge thanks to PTO for both). We hope that you had a great weekend as well. We're looking forward to another fun spirit week this week so check the calendar for what students can wear each day to participate. We have band and choir concerts this week, plenty of athletic events, and the Sources of Strength Color Run that we hope all of our families will come out for on Friday. Check out this week's Jaguar Weekly for more information about this and other events at school.
