Scenes from the first week of games for the East Prairie Volleyball Team.



At the end of the 1st Semester, all East Prairie PE classes participated in the Jingle Jog. They had 5 minutes at the start of 6 class periods to run as many laps as possible, with a goal of 66 laps which is equal to a 5K.
The students who completed 66 laps received a candy cane and a “free day” pass to use 3rd quarter!! Way to go Jingle Joggers!!
