EPJ boys basketball has rescheduled a game with Lakota Tech on February 12 in Elk Point. This will be played as part of a doubleheader with the girls taking on West Central that night. First games will start at 4 pm for both squads.
Biology students have been studying cell reproduction and wrapped up today with a fun, competitive Rock-Paper-Scissors review game! Students quizzed each other using question cards, earning cards for correct answers—and settling ties with a round of Rock-Paper-Scissors. It was an engaging way to review the cell cycle and mitosis as they prepare for tomorrow’s quiz.
Due to extremely icy conditions this morning EPJ will be 2 hours late.
Educators Rising is hosting a good old fashion CAKE WALK during half time of the girls and boys varsity games Feb 3rd. If you're not familiar with a cake walk, it's for EVERYONE to enjoy. It's like musical chairs but with a chance to win a cake. $1 to come down fill a chair, walk around the chairs while music plays. When the music stops, sit in your chair, a number will be drawn to WIN A CAKE! Didn't win the first round--hop back in line with another $1 for another chance to play and win! We will play 4 rounds of the cake walk. All proceeds go to raising money to create Celebration Kits for families who need help celebrating their child's birthday. Kit's will include fixings for a cake, card, balloons, candles and a $5 gift gift certificate to the book fair. Educators Rising is helping families Celebrate Birthdays and Literacy--One Chapter at a time!

Throwback to warmer days: one of the things sixth graders do in Explore is use microscopes. We were grateful for some warmish January weather to collect some pond water. We found snails, water bugs, and a few little friends out and about in the pond. We also looked at aquarium plants and saw plant cells. A favorite part of microscopes is capturing images to share with our friends, family, and community.

Once upon a time when the weather was warm (January 13) the eighth grade hit the ground running in forces and motion. Students took turns running a 40-yd dash. We didn't make the NFL, but Elijah ran it in 4.95 seconds.
