EJMS in the Community Last Week
'Tis the Season for Caroling
The EJMS A Whole Lotta Treble joined the EJHS Vocal Jaggs to carol at Kroger last week for the joy of the shoppers and our community.
Sharing some Holiday Cheer
Students sang together a collection of holiday songs - thanks for sharing your talents and some holiday cheer!
Sources of Strength Training
Our sources of strength student leaders received training at the Jessamine County Library on Thursday. Students learned more about how to share positivity and kindness as peer mediators.
Title 1 Parent and Family Engagement News
Look for this section as a regular part of our newsletter with information for parents and families from both the district and our school. To begin with, we wanted to share the policies that detail our vision for parent and family engagement in Jessamine County and at EJMS.
Please take a look at our district and school parent-family engagement policies. We would love to hear any feedback you have for these policies.
