Last week EJMS Health & Wellness students learned about infectious diseases through an activity called Glo Germ on a sponge. Students had a chance to shake hands with other students who had various Glo Germ on sponges to represent the spread of germs through direct contact. Great engagement and relevant lessons, Mrs. Jones!
🏈 Shoutout to Coach Marsh! 🏈
Coach Marsh isn’t just a football coach; he’s a teacher, mentor, and motivator. He's a safe place, a strong support system, and believer in hard work. He goes above and beyond to make a positive impact on the lives of his players and students. In the words of one of his players, he has "passion for making us not only better football players but young men as well". Thank you for making a difference, Coach!
