Want to thank a teacher? Buy them a coffee!

We are so excited to partner with Teach's Coffee Truck on Monday, October 26! Teach's Coffee will be set up to serve the faculty and staff of EJMS and Red Oak. We also have this amazing opportunity for our families to love on any staff member by buying a coffee on their behalf! Go to this link to "prepay" for someone's coffee - just leave their name in the notes and we'll make sure they get it.


Thank you for supporting our amazing staff! Trust me when I say EVERYONE needs a Monday morning coffee!
