NOVEMBER STUDENTS OF THE MONTH
Congratulations to our November Students of the Month! These students are chosen by their grade-level teachers for their exemplary work, attitude, and effort!
6th Grade: Louis Ellett & Addison Clark

We will be hosting a Veteran’s Day program at 10:00 am on Friday, November 10th at the Edgewood Junior High School Gymnasium. We would like to invite our community Veterans and EJHS family Veterans to be honored at this program. Please fill out the following form for any Veteran interested in attending. Information can also be provided by contacting the school office at (812)876-2005. Please have this information turned in no later than November 8th.

Colts Chronicles – The winners of the scary story contest on Colts Chronicles have been determined. In first place, is Hailee Dine for her story “The Kidnapper”. In second place, is Lynlee Crouch for her story “Lucy, I’m Pulling off Your Covers”. In third place, is Greta Vagedes for her story “Forever and Always”. Honorable Mentions went to Dorothy Hamilton, Quinn Slabach, and Lilith Watkins. Check out their spooky stories at coltschronicles.com.

It has been brought to our attention that many students have been forgetting to bring a charged Chromebook and/or charger to school. Due to the high demand and lack of supply, we will no longer be able to provide students with a loaner charger during school hours. If your charger is damaged or missing, please let Miss Edgeman in the Media Center know, and she will work with the Tech Department to provide you with a replacement charger. Chargers are not covered by the protection plan. Please contact the EJHS office if you have any questions.

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Pumpkinfest last weekend. We had over 600 people attend! we would love to continue to improve each year, so if you have time please fill out our survey with your feedback. Pumpkinfest Survey Link

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND-HELP US HELP OTHERS THIS THANKSGIVING! Your EJHS Student Council and PTO have combined efforts to collect boxes of macaroni and cheese to donate to Pantry 279 for their Thanksgiving food basket drive. Any brand of macaroni and cheese is great–please bring them to your homerooms now through 11/10; the homeroom that collects the most boxes will win a surprise breakfast treat/prize!
Pantry 279 works tirelessly to feed our local community and they rely on the kindness and generosity of our people to help – they are planning on building nearly 2200 boxes/meals this Thanksgiving! Our goal is to collect 500 boxes of macaroni and cheese.

Not Feeling Well: Students if you’re not feeling well report to the Health Office. The Health Aide will contact your parent if you need to go home.
