6th Grade Science

Mr. Dorr's 6th grade science class was learning doing a lesson on fingerprinting today. It just so happened today that Trooper Andrew Crook was visiting our school today to talk to classes about what to do during a lockdown drill. Perfect timing - the students had an opportunity to take a fingerprint of our local law enforcement!

EGMS Physical Education

Ms. Jones' EGMS students in her Quarter 3 Health Class have been doing a ¨Lunch Bunch¨ on their remote learning snow days. On Remote Wednesday, they did a ¨Snack Attack"meet just to check in, have a snack, and share about their days! The students really look forward to these!

Daughters of the American Revolution

This year, several students from EGMS participated once again in the Abigail Phelps Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution Essay Competition. Students who participated wrote historical fiction stories placing their characters in colonial Boston during and immediately after the Boston Massacre.

Congratulations to Chloe Rapose who placed first in the eighth grade category and Hansika Lenkala who placed first in the seventh grade category.

Dr. Faulkner's 8th graders are always busy between learning new science, raising salmon and taking care of the plants in the greenhouse!
