By encouraging these behaviors, the school promotes a culture of mutual respect, punctuality, and safety, ensuring that every student feels supported and empowered to excel both academically and socially. Following the PROS guidelines, students earn a chance to attend PROS Parties.
What an exhilarating weeks it's been for the 6th Graders and the Spikeball Tournament! We witnessed some epic battles, incredible teamwork, and tons of fun as our students showcase their skills on the court! But now, it's time to announce the winners!
A huge congratulations to Kecher and Wyatt for emerging victorious as the champions of the tournament! Your hard work, determination, and teamwork truly paid off, and you've earned this moment of glory!
Let's also give a big round of applause to our second-place team, Noah and Joe! You gave it your all and demonstrated fantastic sportsmanship throughout the competition. Well done!
A special shoutout to all the participants for bringing your A-game and making this tournament such a thrilling event! Your enthusiasm and passion for Spikeball were truly inspiring to see
7th and 8th Grade Orchestra students performed this week and achieved an outstanding accomplishment at the Patriot League Orchestra Festival! All three judges awarded our talented musicians straight 1's—the highest rating possible!
Hosted at the stunning USD 490 Performing Arts Center, our orchestra dazzled the adjudicators with their skill, dedication, and passion for music.
Let's give a round of applause to our EMS Orchestra members, conductor, and everyone who supported them on this remarkable journey. Your hard work and talent have truly shined today! #PartOfThePride
If you were in EMS this week, you probably smelled something burning. Not to worry, it was just Ms. Rush's science class. She had our amazing students embarking on a fascinating exploration into the world of thermal energy! They decided to mix things up a bit and delve into how thermal energy travels by conducting an experiment right in their own classroom!
Using some foods, they measured just how much thermal energy each item contained.It was incredible to see our students engage with the scientific process, ask thought-provoking questions, and collaborate with their peers to uncover the mysteries of thermal energy. What a great way to start spring break.
Our budding scientists are taking their learning to the streets – literally! This week, our 6th-grade science students traded textbooks for sidewalk chalk as they embarked on a colorful exploration of Earth's atmospheric layers.
With the sun shining and creativity in full bloom, our students transformed the pavement into a canvas of scientific wonder. Armed with their knowledge of the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, and exosphere, they brought these atmospheric layers to life in vibrant hues and imaginative designs.
As they sketched out the boundaries and characteristics of each layer, they not only demonstrated their understanding of Earth's complex atmosphere but also showcased their artistic talents. Passersby couldn't help but stop and admire the masterpieces taking shape before their eyes.
Through this hands-on activity, our young scientists are not only engaging with scientific concepts but also fostering a deeper connection to the world around them. Who knew learning about atmospheric layers could be so colorful and fun?
Another thrilling week of learning at EMS! Our 7th graders are on an exhilarating journey exploring the principles of physics through hands-on experimentation. Today, they dove into the world of roller coasters, discovering the fascinating concept of conservation of energy.
In their classroom-turned-thrill factory, students constructed their very own roller coasters, meticulously calculating the gravitational potential energy based on the mass and height of their creations. With every twist, turn, and loop, they witnessed the transformation of potential energy into kinetic energy, as their coasters zipped through the tracks at varying speeds.
From the initial ascent to the heart-pounding drops, our young engineers are experiencing firsthand the dynamic interplay between potential and kinetic energy. Through this immersive project, they're not only gaining a deeper understanding of physics but also honing their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
3/8 EMS optional soccer practice scheduled for 3:00 today has been canceled due to the weather. Enjoy the weekend!

🚨Week with the Cats🚨
Congratulations to Sammy Schafer for placing 1st at the 7th grade league spelling bee at Haysville Middle School and Jonah Love for placing 3rd. Great job and way to represent EMS.
Our 8th-grade science students had a blast as they delved into the fascinating world of the rock cycle using a deliciously sweet approach - Starbursts! 🍬🔍
Using these colorful treats as their models, our budding geologists observed and discussed how rocks undergo various processes to transform from one type to another. From sedimentary to igneous to metamorphic, each stage of the rock cycle was beautifully represented by the vibrant hues of Starbursts.
It was truly a hands-on learning experience that sparked curiosity and excitement in our students. Who knew learning about rocks could be so tasty and fun?
🚨EHS Cheer tryouts are a week away.🚨
