EJMS Jaguar Weekly March 25 - 29

Keeping our School Community in the Know

From Principal Pickerill's Pen

EJMS Families,

We hope everyone had a great week! We appreciate everyone who took time out of their busy schedules to attend the Spring Showcase last week! We are heading into the final week of school before Spring Break. Our students will be taking the final iReady Diagnostic for this year on Wednesday 3/27/24 (Math) and Thursday 3/28/24 (Reading). We will also have our final club day of the year on Friday.

Lion King Musical

We are excited to present Lion King Jr the musical. Our students under the direction of Ms. Bishop have been working hard these last several months to prepare. We hope you can join for any of the upcoming shows. See flyer for showtimes and ticket information.

Online Registration Open for 2024-25 school year

ONLINE REGISTRATION (OLR) is now open for the 2024-25 school year. Please help by going online and registering for next year. You can register your entire family at one time, even if children attend different schools in the district. OLR completion is one required step to ensure your child receives their Chromebook at the beginning of next school year without delay. Thank you in advance! If you have any questions or need help remembering your password please call the school at (859) 885-5561.

As familes and friends came into the showcase, they were serenaded by our student musicians from the EJMS band.

Look at all of the "Happy Little Trees"! Our student visual artists' work was displayed all over our building, especially as you got close to Ms. Cobb's classroom (err...art studio)

Just a taste of the greatness to come. Attendees got a chance to see one of the fun musical numbers from our upcoming spring musical production of "The Lion King." Do you have your tickets for the show yet? Be sure to use the QR code above or talk to any cast member to get yours!

Our students + peer tutors collaborated to make this beautiful project for the Spring Showcase! Our butterflies represent that we’re all the same, even if we look different. Inside each letter are pictures of our students, staff, and peer tutors.

The Culture Fair from Friday

It was such a wonderful exchange of cultures, traditions, and of course food from our student-directed Culture Fair last week. All of the colors and flavors and pride for homelands shone through so clearly as our students and staff learned from each other.
