GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
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.
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.
8th Grade Night at EHS will be held on Monday, Nov. 13th, beginning at 6:30 p.m. We will begin with a presentation in the Auditorium which will include information about high school scheduling, graduation requirements, etc. After the presentation, families will have the opportunity to ask teachers questions about their courses and visit displays about course offerings in the Commons; counselors and administrators will be available for questions. The presentation will be repeated to 8th graders during social studies classes at EJHS on Wednesday, Nov. 15th. However, students are encouraged to attend 8th Grade Night in order to visit the course displays; also, it’s helpful for students to hear the presentation more than once since we will share a lot of new information. High school counselors will meet with every 8th grader for an individual scheduling appointment at EJHS (Nov. 21st-Dec. 15th.), and parents are welcome to attend via Zoom or in person. Scheduling appointment dates/times will be posted on 8th Grade Night and at EJHS
Just a friendly reminder that the 8th grade eye exams will be held on Monday, November 13th. Students, if you wear glasses or contacts please remember to wear them that day.
Do you think your athletic skills are better than Coach Sparks’? Or that you are as smart as Mrs Karaffa? Do you have hidden musical or fun talents?
