RESULTS

Cross Country had an awesome night despite the heat and lightning delays in their home opener. Both boys and girls took 2nd with Josie Buckley winning and Noah Gallagher and Zaden Norris going 1-2 for the boys with another finish separated by hundredths of a second. We also had notable runs by Ava Cassidy, Alice Musselwhite, Madison Hayden, Matthew Rouker, Soren Kensek Grey Hudson, and Luke Minnick!

INTERESTING FACTS:

Despite being different colors, Froot Loops are all the same flavor.

Attention Students!
Have you had a rough start to your morning and forgot to brush your teeth or put on deodorant? From today on, if you find yourself in this situation you complete our Colts Care Closet form online and your EJHS Student Services providers will help you get those needs met. We have new hygiene products, new or gently used clothing, and more available for your personal use. You will find the link to the Colts Care form in your email, on the counselor sign-up form, and in your student bookmarks. We look forward to providing this support to you and want to thank everyone who has donated to this cause!
