Friday Gym Day for K-5th!

It was a great day of fun for our kids! Remember, Friday, 9/1 we have a gym play day at the junior high gym from 9am-3pm for kiddos K-5th grade to free parents up to do what they need to do after the flooding. We have lunch covered so do not send a lunch!

If you have any questions, please contact  Melissa Janecek at Melissa.janecek@ebisd.org.

Can we help? Gym time for kids!

Mrs. M. Janecek and fellow volunteers will have activities and games from 9am-3pm on Thursday and Friday of this week at the junior high gym for kiddos K-5th grade. Please bring snacks, a lunch, and a drink and we'll keep them busy! We want to provide this service as a way to help our parents so you can regroup, help your neighbor, etc. Anyone wanting to donate food, pre-packaged drinks, or snacks can contact Melissa Janecek at Melissa.janecek@ebisd.org.

AUGUST= TWO-A-DAYS

That's right, August at EBISD means our kids are already back in full swing with camps and the unforgettable "TWO-A-DAYS". The Brahmarette Volleyball team, the Mighty Brahma Band & Flag Corps, and our 2-time state champion cross country team (pics to come) officially began practice on Monday. Our football camp, with an attendance of 85 future Brahmas, concluded on Wednesday (pics to come). The EBHS Brahmas will start their TWO-A-DAY practices on Monday and before we know it, our first scrimmage will be upon us. We're looking forward to another great year at EBISD!
