sPECIAL PRESENTATION COMING SOON!

We are excited to announce that EDMS will be hosting Jesse Lipscombe to speak to our JH students on June 10.

J.E. Lapointe and Caledonia JH students will also be joining us to hear Jesse’s impactful message. Black Gold leadership students had the opportunity to hear Jesse speak in a virtual presentation a couple months ago and thanks to the support of our parent association and the other two schools, we were able to join together to bring the message to a much larger group of students. More details will follow shortly.

The classroom teacher will inform you if your child is getting an award.

Extracurricular Activities

TRACK & FIELD

junior high (JH) track & field

Congratulations to all of our JH students who competed in the District Track Meet this past week. We had a number of students or relay teams place in the top 6 and there were some very close wins and losses. We also had two students qualify for zones. Congrats and good luck to Keyra A (100 m, LJ) and Zoe I (HJ) who are competing at Zones on Tuesday, June 4 in Sherwood Park.

elementary track & field

Mrs. Flontek has picked the elementary track team and permission forms have been sent out. They are due on Wednesday, June 5. Friday, June 7th is the elementary track meet at RMS (Riverview Middle School in Devon).

flag football

That’s a wrap on the flag foot ball season. All 4 EDMS teams did very well. Many thanks to our coaches (Mr. Lane, Mr. Crosdale & Mrs. Stroud) who volunteered their time to work with our students. Thanks to all our families who came out to watch the games.

SPIRIT WEAR STORE

As you know, we were excited to launch the opening of our new online school spirit wear store with Lil’ Buckeroo Designs. Thank you to everyone who purchased some new Duck Gear.

The store is still open and you have an option to ship to your home or do a pick up in the shop in New Sarepta. Deliveries to the school only happen when we do a school wide campaign like we just completed prior to Dec. 10. We will let you know when new items are added and when we plan to do another school wide order. Don’t miss out on your chance to get some new spirit wear. You can visit our store by clicking on this LINK. Goooo Ducks!

HOT LUNCH

Click on the image above to order hot lunch. HOT LUNCH is now open for APRIL to JUNE.

The Hot Lunch Program is up and running. It runs from October to June.

Menus will be loaded into the system in groups: October to Christmas break, January to Spring break and April to the end of the school year.

The Hot Lunch online order system requires a small amount of setup time at the beginning as you must register each child you have attending our school prior to ordering.

In order for vendors to fulfill our Hot Lunch orders, we need to close ordering from 10 – 14 days in advance, therefore, please ensure that you place your Hot Lunch order before each deadline. The deadline is noted on each vendor menu.
