We celebrated our EJR fifth-grade students who are moving up to middle school! They’ve accomplished so much academically and socially, and have honed their skills in music, band, and athletics.

 

Interim Superintendent of Schools Donna Geidel reminded the students of how much they have grown and matured since entering EJR. She encouraged them to join clubs and take part in activities when they get to Crispell Middle School. And she reinforced a message they’ve heard throughout their time here at EJR – be kind to each other!

 

 

 

 

Students received many awards at the ceremony including for academics, art, music and band, chorus, library and physical education.

 

 

The Jeanne S. Theis Memorial Award is special to EJR. Mrs. Theis was a former teacher and principal at EJR who loved to teach and was a trusted leader. The award is presented to a student each year who exemplifies the characteristics that made Mrs. Theis so special, including compassion, respectfulness and trustworthiness, to name a few. This year, Elijah Rose was the recipient. He will have his name engraved on the plaque that hangs in the school and he received a $50 gift card.

 

 

Now it’s on to Crispell Middle School for these eager fifth-grade students!
