Next week is National FFA Week. What better way to show your support for FFA than to get involved in FFA Week? Please see the list of FFA spirit week days and dress to impress.




High five: it’s Friday! It was another busy week. Let’s recap……
This morning we started our day with a friendly basketball shooting competition in the gym. Students and faculty paid $1 to take 3 shots. If they made their shots, their name was entered into a drawing! The student winners were Briar Jamison, Jake Brackbill and Josh Dubeil. The faculty winner was Mrs. Steph Hackeberg.
Last night, the boys basketball team competed in a great game against rival Juniata. EJ boys were successful and pulled out the win, which clinched the league title. It was so great to see our school come together with the singing of the National Anthem by the EJ chorus and all the school spirit throughout the gym. Let’s pack the house again tonight for the girls basketball team as they host rival Juniata! Please wear white to show your support. All proceeds from the last two days will be donated to teacher Mrs. Fryer.
Mr. Todd Tabb finished up his first rotation for the Artist Residency Program this past Wednesday, and our students are looking forward to his return in March.
Congratulations to our students who competed at district band and chorus the past two Fridays. We are very proud of their hard work!





High five: it’s Friday! It was another busy week. Let’s recap……
* Last Friday a group of students competed at district band. Congratulations to
Ben Losch and Emma Brophy for being selected to compete at the regional
competition. Tomorrow we are sending another group: Addison Benner, Emma
Brophy and Emmett Hibbs to compete at district chorus. Good luck to all!
* The week kicked off with CDT testing. Thank you to our students and teachers
for doing their absolute best.
* Also, this week we welcomed Mr. Todd Tabb to Mrs. Kerstetter’s art room for an
Artist Residency program sponsored by Perry County Council of the Arts and
the Juniata County School District. The students learned about the history and
process of Raku firing, throwing on the potter’s wheel, as well as Coil and
Kurinuki Hand-building techniques.
