Happy New Year to the families and friends of East Jay Elementary! We had a busy December and are looking forward to what 2024 has in store. Enjoy these photos of some of the fun activities as students geared up for their winter break!
East Jay Elementary--During the month of December, student's met with Mrs. Addington and discussed gratitude and kindness. Students wrote thank you notes to any person they wanted to show their gratitude, both here at school or home. Following a "gratitude calendar", students were able to see how they were doing with these worthwhile activities.
They also learned about Random Acts of Kindness and practiced showing kindness to their fellow students, teachers, staff, and their families at home. They made Christmas lightbulbs for their lockers describing ways to be kind, made notes with words of encouragement to other students and staff, and made and sent Christmas greetings to residents of Persimmon Ridge, Crown Pointe, and our County Home.

IMPORTANT UPDATES
Today, the students and staff of East Jay paid tribute to our veterans during a short program. Students invited special friends and family members who have served or are serving our country.
To all our veterans, we want to express our sincere thanks for your sacrifices, unwavering dedication, and incredible bravery. Your service has provided and defended our freedom, and we are eternally grateful.
Congratulations to our first nine weeks Kindness Award recipients at East Jay Elementary. Each of these students were nominated because of the kindness they have shown to their peers and the staff since the beginning of school. We are so proud of you and how you are setting a great example!
EJE 5th and 6th grade students had the opportunity to go to a Ball State Women's Basketball game today as part of their positive incentive reward for good behavior for the first nine weeks of school. They cheered on the Cardinals to a 97-64 win over Tennessee Tech.
REMINDER:
East Jay Elementary will honor our veterans this Thursday at 9:00 a.m. If your student will have an honored veteran present for the program on Thursday, their guest may come at 8:30 and enjoy some refreshments prior to the program, as a small gesture of our appreciation for their service.
