Thank you seniors for 4 great summers of hard work and dedication to making us all better. You will all be missed.
We also wanted to give a big thank you to everyone that donated to our 1st Annual Lift-A-Thon. The donations made help us keep the weight room fitted with everything our student-athletes need.
If you would still like to make a donation, please reach out to me at andy.homan@k12.sd.us or find an area student-athlete.
Thank you EPJ Community for the continued support of the Strength Performance Program.

Good afternoon, Husky Family. I had the honor of walking in our remodeling area yesterday. All is moving along. I decided to take a video for you to see what is going on in our areas right now! Enjoy!
Save the Day for August 20th, this year's Open House.
What an unforgettable week at the Educators Rising National Conference in Portland, Oregon!
From June 19–23, I had the privilege of taking 12 incredible EPJ Educators Rising students to compete against more than 3,000 students from across the United States. Watching them represent our school, community, and state with such professionalism, confidence, and passion for education filled me with so much pride.
I am thrilled to share that 6 of our 12 competitors received national recognition!
Blue Ribbon Award Winners – Interactive Bulletin Board**
💙 Camryn Norris 💙 Kylee Pierce
💙 Hannah Kuehl 💙 Exandria Stultz
💙 Gracelynn Bruns
🏅 Kayla Sharkey earned an incredible **8th Place in the Nation** in Job Interview!
🏅 **Haley Harkness** was awarded **$100 for her innovative "School of the Future" design**, a tremendous honor that highlights her creativity and vision for education.
While these students received awards, I couldn't be more proud of every one of our 12 competitors . Each student dedicated countless hours preparing, practicing, revising, and challenging themselves to compete at nationals. They represented Elk Point-Jefferson with excellence, and they should all be incredibly proud of what they accomplished.
I also want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone who helped make this experience possible. Thank you to our families, school administration, community members, businesses, organizations, and everyone who supported our fundraisers, donated, encouraged our students, and believed in them along the way. Your generosity and encouragement opened the door for these students to experience something they will never forget.
Summer Reminder: EPJ Educators Rising students have created Celebration in a Box kits to help make every child's birthday a special one. These kits are available throughout the summer for families who may need a little extra support celebrating their child's big day.
Each kit includes a cake, frosting, candles, balloons, a birthday card, and a gift certificate to the school Book Fair this fall.
Kits are available free of charge in the Superintendent's Office. Please use Entrance J and call ahead before stopping by to ensure someone is available to assist you.
We are proud to offer this opportunity and hope these kits help create special birthday memories for EPJ students and families! 💙
