We are so proud to share that our very own Mr. Sigler recently received $10,000 of new and nearly new band instruments and instrument supplies. The instrument donations were made possible through the UNCSA Community Music School’s “Band Together” program which concluded December 31, 2024.
Band Together is a sponsored project of the Arts Council of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County and funded through ARPA supported by the Forsyth County Board of Commissioners.
We cannot wait to hear the wonderful music that will be made possible through this generous donation!
All EFMS students should be bringing home their Remote Learning Packets today. These are paper/pencil packets. Please make sure you retrieve them and put them in a safe place. This work does NOT need to be completed at this time. It will only be used if we need do remote learning in the future. If your child was absent today, please know that these can be picked up next week.
At this time, NO remote learning days are scheduled; however, we do want to be prepared in case those days are needed in the future. Thank you for understanding and supporting us as we work to ensure your child has consistent education even if we have another weather event. Have a great weekend, Ravens!
