Way to go, 5th Grade!
Our fifth graders absolutely knocked it out of the park this Wednesday during their Living History presentations! After a full month of hard work, they finally got to show off their incredible speeches, handmade boards, creative props and costumes to friends and family. We are so proud of the dedication they showed over the last few weeks. Great job, kids! You should be so proud of yourselves!

3rd grade students in Mrs. Wolforth's class started a new weekly tradition today: Book Buddies! Each Wednesday we will head down to the Y preschool room and read books to our preschool buddies. The students were very excited to meet their buddies today, and we had a great time sharing some of our favorite stories.

Yesterday our 3-12th grade students had the opportunity to hear from B. Farris, and his message truly stayed with all of us. 💙
He reminded students that fear is something we all face, but courage is choosing to move forward anyway. Through stories of resilience and perseverance, he showed our kids that challenges do not define them. How they respond is what matters most.
One of the most powerful takeaways was this: a moment is not your whole book. It is just a page. Mistakes, setbacks, and hard days are not part of the story, not the ending. Every student has the ability to turn the page, grow stronger, and keep writing who they are becoming.
At EPJ, we want every student to know that you can be anything. Your past does not limit your future, and your story is still being written.
