FOOD TRUCK WARS! 8th grade FCS Essentials had to create a marketing plan, design a menu and logo, and then prepared food from scratch for a big audience today! The judges gave feedback on all aspects. Thanks to Mrs. Marksberry for giving our students this opportunity and helping teachers fill their tummies with some delicious creations!
Our 7th grade art students have some masterpieces on display in the rotunda! They interviewed a staff member then created name art signs based on the staff member's responses. So personalized and thoughtful. They also included a note of how they chose each component. Art to treasure forever! 💙💚
Families, check out the upcoming workshop. Scan the QR code to register.
At East, we have the best. 💙💚

Happy Birthday to our fearless leader, Mr. Pickerill!
Hello EJMS Families and Friends -
