Students and parents: Do you like to take photos? The yearbook editors could use your help. Please submit photos of your fall sports and events by uploading JPEG images to https://images.jostens.com/416225043 from a phone or a computer.
Does writing something down help you remember it? Is Playstation 5 better than Xbox Series X? What about HBO Max? Is it a good streaming service? How’s the high school soccer team doing this year? You can read about all of these topics in the new issue of Colts Chronicles. You’ll also find articles about Ian Fortune’s stop motion videos, some of our social studies teachers, and lots more! The newspaper is available at coltschronicles.com.
If you enjoy the culinary arts (or just love to eat sweet treats) please consider joining the EJHS Baking Club. We will meet on Tuesdays in Room 212 from 2:25 until 4 pm beginning on October 12th. Please see Mrs. Koontz and/or complete this form to express interest in the club: EJHS BAKING CLUB

Thursday evening the Colts’ cross country team traveled to Bedford to compete in the BNL invitational. The boys came in 7th out of 13 teams. The girls finished 2nd out of 9 teams, missing first place by a mere 5 points. Leading the way in the boys’ race were Davin and A.J. Norris, earning 15th and 22nd overall. Hank Ripley had a great race, finishing 36th. Aiden Lee finished 44th, Logan Dhom 49th, Henry Norris 51st, and Dailyn Pairitz 57th. For the girls, Hannah Crain dominated the race, winning with a time of 12:52 on the two-mile course. Ellie Vagedes also earned a spot in the top 10, finishing 6th. Also earning ribbons were Nerissa Zelhof-Arriaga in 11th, Allison Bland in 12th, and Sophia Mobley in 18th. Ryleigh Burnett finished 26th and Maya Gill was 28th.
