Hello EJMS Family and Friends!
We've made it to the week before fall break, but we aren't slowing down yet. We have band and choir concerts to kick off the week. We've got swim team tryouts and a XC meet and a football game, then we'll end the week with our long-anticipated PowderPuff tournament and the first session for school clubs. It's going to be a fun week at EJMS and we hope it's a great one for you! And then....enjoy fall break. We'll see you with a new edition of the EJMS Jaguar Weekly in two weeks!

Hello EJMS Family and Friends -
Welcome to Fall! It's officially Autumn as of today and the cooler weather and rain coming are evidence of the change of season. We're firmly into fall sports with the SRC Tournament for Girls Basketball this week and 8th grade night for Football on Thursday night. Monday is the last day to apply for Beta this semester and we've got LionHeart Experience assemblies during school along with a community event in the evening on Wednesday. So it's another busy week at EJMS! Find out about these and other opportunities at school and in the community in this week's edition of our weekly newsletter. Have a great week!

Our 8th-grade health students are working on their personal and family values by building hexagon constellations. They are learning that their personal and family values shape their identity and contribute to their sense of purpose and connection, as well as their spiritual wellness. Great work, Jags! #proudtoroar
