Hello EJMS Family and Friends - It is finally starting to feel more like fall and with that nip in the air comes boys basketball. Beginning this week with Jaguar Madness on Thursday. Then there's the first school dance this Friday for our Neon Rodeo. We're also joining with the other schools in our district led by a class of third graders from Rosenwald-Dunbar to raise money for helping orphan children in Malawi, Africa with the Jessamine Cares Change Challenge this week. Find out more about each of these events and other happenings at EJMS in this week's edition of the EJMS Jaguar Weekly.

We've got swim team tryouts and a XC meet and a football game, then we'll end the week with our long-anticipated PowderPuff tournament and the first session for school clubs. It's going to be a fun week at EJMS and we hope it's a great one for you! And then....enjoy fall break. We'll see you with a new edition of the EJMS Jaguar Weekly in two weeks!
