Eighth Street Middle School

ESMS is excited to invite all students to participate in our Thanksgiving Food Drive! We encourage students to bring in non-perishable food items and drop them off with their first academic teacher of the day. The house that collects the most food will earn extra free time on the Friday before Thanksgiving, and the class with the highest total will win a fun Donut Party! Let's come together to make a positive impact this holiday season. We can't wait to see the generous spirit of our ESMS community!
