We are honoring our paraprofessionals today! We are so thankful for all of the paraprofessionals on our staff.
Before break Mrs. Braden read The Night Rider by J. Anderson Coats. The author offered to have Zoom sessions with middle school students during library. The kids prepped questions before the meeting and did an excellent job asking questions and being good listeners.

Will Scott, Kaylor Moore and Hunter Heitman were all finalists in the contest hosted by the Lincoln County Clerk's Office. Hunter Heitman won first place in the middle school digital design category and will have his sticker distributed on Election Day throughout Lincoln County.
Look at these professionals on Mock Interview Day!
Spring Break is here! Classes resume on Tuesday, April 2.
The Mock Interview is a rite of passage for eighth grade students at EMS. Students create a resume and practice answering questions during ELA class before actually participating in an interview at school. This would not be possible without the support of our community and the volunteers who conduct the interviews. Please thank these people if you see them out and about in the community.
