RESULTS
Last night the volleyball team travelled to white river valley, the 7th grade team won in 2 quick sets 25-6 and 25-12. The leading scorer was Hadlie Shoemaker with 4 kills and 9 aces. The 8th grade team fought hard but came up short in the third set, they may not have won but they still had many great team accomplishments for the night including 19 total kills, 45 digs, and 21 aces! Great job ladies and good luck tonight against South Putnam!
The Cross-Country teams won big at Cloverdale on Tuesday. The Colts took almost all the top ten spots in the boys’ and girls’ races. Great job runners!

Out of all of the senses, smell is most closely linked to memory – which explains why certain smells bring back vivid memories.
GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
In partnership with the Success School, EJHS hosts six Career Panels throughout the year. In addition to hearing from professionals in that career field, this year we have asked high school students working toward the same career pathway to come to EJHS and talk about their high school path, class requirements, and other high school experiences. This month the High School and Career Panels will focus on Biomedical Sciences. The panels will take place during Flex on Thursday and Friday this week. Join us by signing up for this two-day Flex opportunity!
