Famous Landmarks! The sixth grade explore class built famous landmarks out of Legos and presented facts on their monument. We focused on historical accuracy, scale/proportion, engineering/stability, documentation, and creativity/effort. In all, 13 different landmarks were created. Our young builders did not want to photographed, but wanted to share their structures.

The EPJ Unified Special Olympics purchased a push button/switch adaptive ability wheelchair accessible bowling ramp from Ability Tech! While it may have been trialed in the SLC classroom, with a volleyball and plastic pins, it was a great way to show a few of the athletes of what their peers have access to during bowling season! We are beyond excited for this addition to our Special Olympics to allow those with unique challenges to be a part of yet another aspect of our mission: one school, all abilities, unified together!
Dustin and his family are doing a truly remarkable thing for those with disabilities!

We are proud to recognize Kayla Sharkey, a senior at EPJ High School and avid Educators Rising Member, as one of many EPJ students participating in our Teacher Assistant Program!
Through this program, students like Kayla step into real classrooms to explore the teaching profession firsthand. They complete a minimum of 30 hours working alongside a mentor teacher, gaining valuable experience through observation, hands-on assistance, and meaningful professional conversations about what it truly means to be an educator.
We are incredibly proud to support Kayla and so many others who are curious, passionate, and eager to learn more about the teaching profession. The future of education is in good hands. 💙🍎

Our Educators Rising students are leading a service project to support families in our school community by creating Birthday/Literacy Celebration Kits. Each kit will include everything a parent needs to make their child a birthday cake, along with balloons, candles, and a gift certificate for the school book fair so the child can choose a book of their own and will be available for families who need help with celebrating their child's birthday. These kits will be available to pick up in the elementary and high school offices while supplies last.
To help fund this project, we will be hosting a Cakewalk fundraiser on February 3, 2026, during halftime of the boys and girls basketball games. Tickets are only $1 each and only 96 tickets will be sold. We invite our community to come out, have some fun, and support this meaningful cause.
If you are unable to attend the cakewalk, we will also be sharing a link to an Amazon Wish List for those who would like to support the project by purchasing items online. Thank you for helping us celebrate birthdays, literacy, and community—one cake and one chapter at a time.
