🌱 Our 6th graders in Mrs. Brunswick's science class kicked off their Life Science unit in the most exciting way — by planting Carnivorous Plants and Zombie Plants! 🪴🧟♂️ They’re learning firsthand how these fascinating plants survive and adapt in unique ways.
Earlier this year, our 4th graders in Ms. McNelis' science class explored the world of electric circuits, discovering how energy flows and powers everyday things. ⚡💡
From exploring why oil and water don’t mix to building circuits, these students have been hands-on with science in the classroom!
They also took their learning beyond the school walls with a field trip to the fairgrounds, where they explored conservation, pollution, recycling, wildlife, and what life was like for the early settlers of Jay County — and even learned how to use a fire extinguisher!
Please note East Jay's upcoming events for November!
Picture Make-Up Day is Wednesday, October 29th. Any student who did not have their picture taken on original picture day will have one taken during make-up day. In addition, students who had their picture taken, but wish to have a retake should bring their original picture packet to school and give it to the photographer when they have their picture retaken. If you wish, please write a brief note on the envelope explaining why you are wanting retakes so that our photographers can make sure we are meeting your expectations.
Photo orders utilizing presale pricing can be placed from now until 24 hours after picture day using the link below. After that time, families can still place orders, however packages and pricing may be different, and all orders will be shipped directly to your home.
