STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Listen up all you tough guys, gals, and silly 6th graders. This Friday at 5:30 pm, EJHS is hosting its second semi-annual powerlifting meet. This is a bench and deadlift meet and your chance to prove how strong you really are. Awards will be given based on grade and weight. Last year’s Eli Lirot finished as the top per-pound lifter. Will he reclaim his title or will Darren Grubb surpass him? Even more importantly, Mr. Sparks won the teacher’s division. Will he maintain his title?
Cost is $5. You must pre-register.” Strongest in the corral link
