Showing Pride...Taking Action
In conjunction with the Union County Sheriffs Office, EPJ will host a National Moment of Unity on Friday, September 11 during our homecoming football game vs Dakota Valley. This is in remembrance of the tragic events that took place 25 years ago on September 11, 2001.
PSA: The temperature at 7:00 pm tomorrow for football could still be close to 90. If you plan to attend please make sure that you are drinking plenty of water. Hydration breaks are built in for the athletes, but we want everyone in the stands to stay safe and healthy as well.
EPJ football hosts Parker-Marion tomorrow - kickoff is 7:00 pm. Livestream through Fuller Digital can be found on our Hudl Fan page. The inaugural EPJ Hall of Fame inductees will be recognized at halftime. GO HUSKIES!

George Washington's ice harvesting practices along the Potomac River inspired a popular STEM challenge in Mrs. Van Wyk's 5th grade Social Studies classes this week. Students designed an insulated structure to keep an ice cube from melting. Several structures made it several hours before melting completely.
