It's cold outside, but our hearts are warm!
We are beyond proud of our incredible students! This holiday season, the EJMS community, Stokley's Marine Owner, Ralph Stokely and employees came together to do something truly special. Through their overwhelming generosity, our students, community members, and Stokley 's Marine donated over $5,000 worth of toys to the children at UK HealthCare Kentucky Children’s Hospital. 🎁✨
These donations brought so many smiles and much-needed holiday cheer to brave children and their families during their stay at the hospital.
Thank you to all who donated. You didn’t just give a gift; you made a real difference.

Hello EJMS Family and Friends -
We hope that everyone had a great first four-day week back at school. Now we're ready for a full week and as usual, there's a lot going on. Buene suerte, удачі, good luck to our multilingual learners who will be completing the ACCESS testing over the next couple of weeks. This week, 8th graders will be going to JCTC to explore more about what high school will look like for them and that exploration will be continuing in the following weeks as well. We've also got player evaluations and tryouts for spring sports starting up, so lots to do at EJMS. Find out about all of that and more in this week's edition of our school newsletter. Have a great week!
