Our teachers are ready to welcome your Jaguar back tomorrow! Happy Eclipse Day!
Dear EJMS Family and Friends -
We hope that everyone had a wonderful, relaxing, and reenergizing spring break whether you spent it close to home or far away. Enjoy one more day off and don't forget to wear protective eye gear as you witness the solar eclipse today. Our teachers certainly will be as they take a break from our work day to see it. We are so excited to be in the final stretch of the school year. The events and the energy are revving up as we are competing and celebrating this spring season. Be sure to check out the busy days ahead and much more in this week's newsletter.
