Hello EJMS Family and Friends -
Thanks to all who supported our students and came out or tuned in to our Black History Month Celebrations last week. We were thrilled to end the month of Feb. in such impactful ways and so proud of the students who took the lead in making the programs and celebrations so successful. This week, we will host the EJMS choir spring concert and invite everyone to come hear our talented student singers in action. We also say goodbye to some of our eighth graders as they journey to the nation's capital to learn and explore for the 8th grade DC trip. In this week's edition of the Jaguar Weekly, you'll also find information regarding DESSA which is an exciting new initiative in our district to help us better meet our students' needs not just in their academic learning, but in social/emotional learning as well. We hope you have a great week and look forward to seeing or hearing from you soon!
