🐝💙💛 EFMS Reminders for the Upcoming Week! As we head into next week, the EFMS Administration would like to share a few important reminders with our Hornet families! 🚗 Morning Drop-Off & Afternoon Pick-Up: All parents and guardians should use Mason Street for student drop-off and pick-up. The bus lane in front of the school is reserved for buses and individuals who have made prior arrangements with administration. Please remember that Mason Street is a two-way street, so passing vehicles in the drop-off and pick-up line is not permitted. We appreciate everyone’s patience and cooperation in keeping our students safe! 🎨 PTO Color Run Fundraiser: We are entering the final week of our PTO Color Run fundraiser! Please continue to support this exciting event as we look forward to our Color Run on Friday, October 16! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to making this fundraiser a success! 📚 No School Monday: Monday, October 12, is a Professional Learning (PL) Day for staff, which means no school for students! We hope all of our Hornet families enjoy a wonderful three-day weekend! Thank you for your continued support of EFMS! 🐝💙💛

Talk about engaging our students here at EFMS! Parker was so excited this morning and was sure to point out our custodian BJ was willing to show up in a tutu to support the hard work of our students. Thanks BJ for bringing lots of smiles today! 🤩

Our new members of our Hornet Crew decided on today’s conversation cart question:  Who would win in a dance off?  Mr.  Sampson or Mrs.  Ross?  Our students decided that Mrs.  Ross would win the challenge but it was our closest conversation question to date!  Huge thank you to Mrs.  P and our Hornet Crew for keeping our kids engaged!
