Please note these important dates for East Jay Elementary
East Jay Elementary 3rd and 4th graders were inspired by a special visit from Batman, aka John Buckland or West Virginia Batman. His message: never give up, help others, do the right thing, and never be a bully. Thank you to the Kids Purpose Project for bringing this powerful program to our community!

Today, we honor and thank our veterans for their courage and dedication to keeping us safe! Our staff and students are grateful for your service and sacrifices. ❤️🤍💙
Our students welcomed special veterans in their lives to celebrate all those who serve our country. Veterans enjoyed donuts and coffee, then watched as students performed the Armed Services Medley honoring all six branches. Each veteran was recognized and received a hand-painted thank-you gift from the students.
