Go Bulldogs!

As we kick off a new week, we wanted to share a look at everything happening with our Performing Arts programs through May. There are plenty of opportunities to catch our students in action, so be sure to check the dates and add them to your family calendar. We can't wait to see you there!

We have enjoyed some well-deserved downtime, but we are excited to welcome our bulldogs back in the halls tomorrow!

Each year, our government students at EPHS are required to complete service hours as part of their curriculum. This year, we are so proud to announce that 59 students completed a total of 1,467 volunteer hours for our school, neighbors, and community! Way to go Bulldogs - keep shining!

Fields are just too saturated! Softball & Baseball at United has been cancelled for today.

Keep those umbrellas handy! Due to the persistent rain, we have the following updates for our athletic schedules:

Baseball & Softball: Today’s away games at United are postponed. We are aiming for both teams to play at United tomorrow, April 2nd.

Softball Note: Please note that tomorrow’s home game against Toronto has been cancelled to prioritize this rescheduled league matchup.

Track: Today’s track meet is also cancelled.

Stay dry today! We look forward to seeing everyone back in action tomorrow.

Wishing all of our Bulldog families and staff a wonderful, relaxing Spring Break from Monday, March 30th through Friday, April 3rd.

Whether you’re heading out on a trip or enjoying some well-deserved downtime right here in town, we hope you take this week to recharge and enjoy the start of the season. We look forward to seeing everyone back in the classrooms on Monday, April 6th!

Miss Ballone’s 3rd grade class had some "extra-hoppy" visitors at their Easter party today! The students were all smiles meeting a real, live bunny.
Talk about an unforgettable way to celebrate!

Learning how to give clear, concise instructions is a superpower. Mrs. Roberts’ 5th Grade ELA students are proving they have it! As part of their "How-To" project series, Rosie Hamrick led a hands-on workshop on crafting Lizard Pony Bead Keychains. From drafting the steps to presenting in front of her peers, Rosie showed incredible leadership.

Every student left with a custom keychain and a better understanding of how to share knowledge with others.

EPMS Group/Club pictures will take place on April 17th. This is a change from the originally scheduled date due to State Testing. Be sure to always visit the event calendar on our website to see what we have planned around the District!

March is Music In Our Schools Month, and we’re celebrating with a Mystery Musician game! We want all Middle and High School students—and our staff—to help find the hidden musicians in our halls.

To play, head to the display boards in your cafeteria and check out the staff profiles. Each correct guess earns an entry into a raffle for both a student and staff winner in each building!

Beyond the prizes, we hope this sparks some great conversations about the songs and stories that connect us all. Stop by the boards and submit your best guesses.

Happy sleuthing, Bulldogs!
