4/26 - 5/3


J1 1st grade students have been learning about people and inventions that have changed the world. We have studied ocean life and learned how humans impact our Earth. 
We learned that about 20% of clothing gets reused or recycled. That means 80% gets thrown away and ends up in landfills or oceans.
J1 wants to change this.  We will be having a clothing and shoe drive from April 29 - May 10. Then we will take the items to The North Face store to their program called Clothes the Loop. 



EFMP wants to hear from you. If your family attended the Fun Fest that was held on April 20, 2019, we would like to know how the Easter Egg hunt went for our EFMP Families.
