Out of over 500 submissions from across the state of Kentucky, 3 of our Jaguars were chosen to attend the Kentucky American Choral Directors Association fall honor choir at the University of Kentucky on November 1st and 2nd! They spent Friday evening and Saturday morning rehearsing with over 200 other Kentucky singers, and performed for their friends and family Saturday evening! We are so proud of this amazing accomplishment! Go Jags! You make us #proudtoroar 💙🐆💚
Kindness boxes are out around the halls of EJMS, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Students will have an opportunity to write about someone they “spot” being kind. Five names from the boxes will be drawn at the end of the day for students who are spotted being kind to win a kindness T-shirt, like this! #proudtoroar 💚🐆💙
