Your EJHS Student Council and PTO have combined efforts to collect Cornbread/Biscuit Mix to donate to Pantry 279 for their Thanksgiving food basket drive. Any brand of items is great—please bring them to your homerooms 10/21-11/13; the TOP THREE HOMEROOMS that collect the most boxes will win a surprise breakfast treat/prize!

We look forward to providing this support to you and want to thank everyone who has donated to this cause!
