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!

EIS is trying to organize a Book Swap for their students.  In conjunction with that, this Friday is “Dolly Day”.  A “holiday” created by a 2nd grader that honors Dolly Parton.  Dolly is synonymous with early intervention to help with getting books in the hands of young children.  Her Imagination Library provides free books from birth to 5 yrs of age with funding from herself and local communities.  Totes will be available in the lobby for students and staff to bring books to donate to EIS’s Book Swap starting Friday, January 19th until the end of the month.  Books are for students in grades 3-5 but lower grade level books are also welcomed.

Pre-registration is open now – 2/6 and tickets will be sent home with the EJHS student designated at check-out in advance to allow for quicker dance entry (a perk of pre-registering)! Entry will be available at the door for $7. All proceeds go directly back to support EJHS students and teachers through your EJHS PTO; this event is open to EJHS students only!

STUDENT ACTIVITIES

Interested in spending more time with our EJHS therapy dog, Barley? Mrs. Straw will be hosting an open group after school every other Thursday. An initial meeting will be on Thursday, January 25, and then start back up again on February 22nd. This group will have playful interactions with Barley and will also be doing a project that involves other therapy dogs from around the USA!

If you’d like to participate you must have parent/guardian permission on file and must have a ride promptly at 3:20 each day for pick up. See Mrs. Buckles in the guidance office for permission forms and use this interest form to sign up.
