Sherri DeSoto and Angie Walters (GT facilitators) and Summer Williams (GT Coordinator) were recently awarded the annual Arkansas Securities Department Grant that will be used to support 5th grade GT classes' Stock Market Game endeavors. The grant, which totaled almost $900 for our schools, is intended to support investment education for Arkansas students.
EEIFam: We have been informed by our electrical provider that it will take longer to restore power to the EEI campus than originally estimated early this morning. At this time, we do not know when power will be restored. Our campus will remain open, and we will still provide lunch. However, you may pick up your child early if you prefer to do so. If you pick up your child early, please have your Photo ID ready at the front office. If you need to reach us, please call (501) 888-8937.
Congratulations to these AMAZING nominees for the 2021 Grant County Chamber of Commerce Elementary Teacher of the Year! Thank you for all you do for the #YJNation!
EEI Fam: Congratulations to EEI 5th grade GT students Alivia Ausbrooks, Abi Cloos, Pierce Terry, and Christopher Peacock for their 1st place finish in the fall session of the Stock Market Game! We are so proud of your teamwork and determination!
