Continuing to celebrate National School Counseling Week ! Here's to our incredible 7th grade counselor, Mr. Joe! 🐾💙💚

Mr. Joe brings warmth, kindness, and steady encouragement to our 7th grade Jaguars every single day. Whether he’s helping students navigate middle school moments, cheering them on in the hallway, or supporting families behind the scenes, he leads with heart.

Thank you Mr. Joe for all you do! Let us know in the comments why Mr. Joe is the best! #proudtoroar

If you’ve seen a therapy dog brightening someone’s day, a Color Run covered in smiles (and powder!), or students learning how to build strength from within — you’ve seen Ms. Montgomery in action 💛

With Dr. Bill by her side 🐾 and Sources of Strength in full swing, she pours into our students in ways big and small.

EJMS is better because of her heart, her leadership, and her unwavering support for every Jaguar. 💚💙 #ProudToRoar

Let's continue celebrating Counselor Appreciation Week with dropping a comment below for Ms. Montgomery!

Happy Birthday Ms. Flaugher! We hope you have the best day! Thank you for all you do! #proudtoroar

If Mrs. Harlan sees her shadow today, does that mean 6 more weeks of grading? 😅📚

Happy Birthday to our favorite Groundhog Day legend, Mrs. Harlan!

We hope you have the best day! #proudtoroar

Today we kick off Counselor Appreciation Week by celebrating four of the very best! 💚

Ms. Montgomery, Mr. Joe, Mrs. White, and Mrs. Jones help our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally — often behind the scenes but always at the heart of what we do!

Thank you for amplifying student success and leading with compassion every day. 🐆💙 #PROUDTOROAR

Despite the amazing efforts of our custodial, maintenance, and transportation crews this past week & weekend, the efforts of hard working snow removal companies that assisted in clearing lots, and a WHOLE lot of hope - we are, unfortunately, not able to return to school today! Many roads and sidewalks are still covered in snow and ice. Today is a snow day and will be made up at the end of the school year.

Look what our EJMS students have built together! The Trusted Adult Wall in front of our school is now filled with names of the caring adults our students identified that they can count on — from parents and family members to teachers, coaches, and neighbors. This powerful visual shows just how important connection and trust are in their lives. As parents and caregivers, you play a huge role in helping kids feel supported, seen, and safe. Take a moment today to ask your child: “Who are the trusted adults in your life?” It’s a great way to open the door for meaningful conversations and strengthen those vital connections. #proudtoroar
