Congratulations to 6th graders Malak Elshiekh and Audrey Miller, who will advance to compete in the Optimist Oratorical Contest District Finals in Dunkirk on April 14th.
We are so proud of their hard work, confidence, and dedication—qualities that will continue to lead them to success. Best of luck 🍀 as you take the next step—we know you’ll represent EJE well!
East Jay Elementary is excited to share a new opportunity for our students!
Nurse Lori (DeRome) recently introduced the AHA CPR Anytime program, starting with our 6th grade classes, with plans to expand to more students next year. During these sessions, students are learning important, potentially life-saving skills, including how to respond in an emergency, when to call 9-1-1, and what information a dispatcher may need.
They are also being taught Hands-Only CPR, along with a demonstration of what an AED is and how it can be used in an emergency situation.
These lessons are taking place during Mr. Alberson’s PE classes, giving students hands-on experience and confidence to help others when it matters most.
We are proud of our students for taking part in this important learning experience—skills that could truly make a difference in someone’s life!

EJE is Celebrating National School Breakfast Week, March 2nd-March 6th
Help us celebrate National FFA Week with these Spirit Dress-Up Days!
High school FFA members will be visiting our elementary buildings throughout the week. They’ll be hanging out during lunch, stopping by a few classrooms for quick lessons to share more about FFA and agriculture. We’re excited for our students to learn and celebrate together!
They will each move on to the next level of competition at Redkey Elementary on February 12 at 6:30 PM.
This year’s speech topic was “The Moment I Realized I Belonged — My Definition of Community.”
Thank you to the local Optimist Club for sponsoring this event and supporting our students.
Change containers are coming home filled with mini Tootsie Rolls. Students can enjoy the candy, then fill their bank with spare change and bring it back to school each day next week.
Every coin collected goes to United Way, supporting local programs that strengthen education, health, and our community. 💙
Plus, we’re celebrating United Way Week with fun dress-up days—check out the flier and help your student join the fun!
🏆 1st Place: Braelyn Eldridge, 6th grade
🥈 Runner-Up: Lillian Alig, 5th grade
We are so proud of these outstanding spellers and the hard work they put into preparing for the big day.
Braelyn and Lillian will represent East Jay Elementary at the Regional Spelling Bee in Muncie in just a few weeks.
Way to go, ladies! Your East Jay family is cheering you on all the way!
Thank you to all our participants today and congratulations for making it to today's competition!
Order forms were sent home with students this week, and now is the time to reserve your child’s yearbook! If you would like the convenience of ordering online, visit:
https://crabtreephotos.accessmyevent.com/EastJayElementary
Sales run through February 25th, and we expect only a very limited number of extra copies to be available once orders close — so please don’t wait.
A yearbook is a special keepsake filled with friendships, milestones, and memories from your student’s elementary years. It’s a wonderful way to capture this moment in time and something they’ll treasure for years to come.
Be sure to send in your order soon so your student doesn’t miss out!
Please take note of the upcoming events for January.
