Message from Principal Jackson
Dear Panther parents, It has been a challenging week for everyone who was affected by the stomach virus that moved through our community. Please know that even with our attendance approaching average number of absentees, we will stay diligent on our end to disinfect our campus and do everything in our power to keep our students and staff members healthy. It is a top priority. I appreciate our parents for continuing to support us and team with us in this effort. It takes a village working together! The main key to full recovery will be keeping sick kiddos home. Please only send your child to school if they have been 24 hours symptom-free. As always, I am available to meet with any parents who still have concerns about how we are moving forward. Thank you for everyone who participated in the fundraiser. We appreciate the support and look forward to making some pretty cool campus improvements with the money raised, including a memorial plaque in honor of our namesake, Leonard Evans, Jr. Tuesday the 25th is DRESS FOR SUCCESS day. We are encouraging our students to dress "professionally" as we focus on future goals, colleges, and careers. We also have a special guest speaker joining us that day. Dr. Phil Campbell will be speaking to all students. He is amazing and has a profound and inspirational message. Our sports teams are in full swing now and I really enjoyed watching our 7th grade Panthers on Wednesday night. The Pantherettes and our Cheerleaders were fabulous, as well. Our students participating in our school musical, "Oklahoma," have been working really hard too. I can't wait to see the production this fall. We have such great students here at Evans...I am proud of them!!
