Do you want to witness an EJMS teacher getting slimed? It's time to dig out your spare change!
Next week, eight teachers will compete in a March Madness slime tournament. The teacher who collects the most money after each match will move on to the next round. Stay tuned for the bracket announcement next week! All funds raised will support EJMS PTO.
It’s time to GET YOUR GLOW ON! The 5th Annual EJ Beta Neon Night 5K Run/Walk will be held on Saturday, April 20th at East Jackson Comprehensive High School. This year, we will have a One Mile Fun Run at 7:30pm for students ages 10 and Under followed by the Neon Night 5K at 8:00pm for runners and walkers of all ages. Medals will be awarded to winners in each age group, and the overall winners will also receive trophies. Kona Ice of Commerce will be on site along with concessions benefitting EJES Elementary Beta.
Early registration includes a black race tee shirt with neon pink logo and a foam glow-stick, which will also be available for on-site registrants while supplies last. The cost for registration is $15 for the One Mile Fun Run, $25 for the Neon Night 5K if registered by April 10th, and $30 late registration fee for the 5K up to race time.
All proceeds from this event go towards funding student scholarships and providing leadership training experiences for East Jackson students.
