EJPS Week at a Glance (May 12-16)
Chers parents,
It was so nice to see everyone at our Willy Wonka Musical performances and celebrate Education Week with you. The good community feeling was buzzing strong both evenings as we could see smiles and looks of appreciation on everyone’s faces. The students’ self portraits that express their self-identified best qualities in the hallways for our Art Gallery was of high quality and showed a depth of learning throughout the grades. The book Fair also added great value to the evenings and shows evidence that our staff, school council, volunteers, and students can all work together to accomplish great things. Thank you to Mme Davis and Mme Cigljarev as well as the play’s music director, Mme Gilmore, for their leadership and support in helping EJ produce such an outstanding musical. I want to say how proud I am of our 50+ students for their hard work and dedication and for doing their best to put on a spectacular show. You are such talented and incredible performers! Thank you to all the additional staff and parents and our School Council who were instrumental in the success of the musical! Also, thank you to Mme Mizutani for organizing and running another very successful Book Fair!
Thank you to those who purchased tickets to our Willy Wonka show. All proceeds will go back into helping cover the costs associated with the performance.

Here is a message from Mme Ammon regarding Junior Track & Field at EJPS:
Dear Parents,
It is that time of year again- Track and Field! Our junior students will be participating in a full day of Track and Field events here at school on Friday May 23, (Rain date May 22).
This special day is a part of your child’s physical education program and all of our junior students will be participating.
Based upon their age grouping, the students will be participating in different events – running long jump, standing long jump, softball throw, 70, 100, 200, 400 and 800 metre dashes. Some students will also be participating in the 4 x 100 metre relay.
We would ask all parents and guardians
● to ensure that their child come to school, dressed appropriately (with light clothing, a suitable hat and sunscreen) to participate in athletic activities.
● to ensure allergy and asthma medications are at the school.
● pack extra drinks or snacks as needed for this day.
If you are able to come help out as a volunteer for the day to assist with running one of the stations, please send an email to Mme Ammon at aammon@ugcloud.ca with the following information by Monday May 19th:
