Yesterday, the 7th-graders heard Cindy Chavez speak about the start-up of Pantry 279. It all started because some middle school girls saw a need. One of their friends was saving leftovers from other students’ lunches. Why were they doing this? Saving food others would throw away? It turns out this was because their family did not have enough food for the weekend. The girls saw this need and decided to do something about it. And Pantry 279 was born. Starting TODAY we begin a one-week food drive to help support the pantry. Please bring in non-perishable food items which the Pantry can pass on to others who are in need. The homeroom which brings in the most items during the food drive will win a prize! We believe in you EJHS. Please help us meet the needs of hungry families right here in our community. Let’s make this the BEST food drive we have ever had as a school.
8th-grade students and parents: Please submit two photos for use in the end-of-the-year memory slideshow to be shown at EJHS Honors and Awards Day. ALL students will be represented. One image should be a current photo of you–school-related if possible, but not your school yearbook portrait. The other should be from when you were young. Please upload good quality, school-appropriate .jpeg images to the online link https://images.jostens.com/416225043 by the Friday after Spring Break, March 25th. (You may have to copy the URL and paste it into a browser for it to work.) Email Mrs. Millick with any questions at hmillick@rbbschools.net.
Please check the table outside the Guidance Office for lost items that might belong to you. Unclaimed items will be donated before Spring Break.
