Dear EMS Families,
Our HVAC system at Everest Middle School is currently not working properly in parts of the building. We understand that this is an inconvenience, and we are working diligently to resolve the issue quickly. In the meantime, we will be taking steps to ensure that classrooms remain as comfortable as possible. We apologize for any discomfort this may cause and appreciate your understanding and patience.

Attention parents of incoming 5th grade band students. We will be using the Habits of a Successful Beginning Band Musician book this year. Sorry for the late notice!
Please welcome our new JOM Coordinator to the South Brown County family!
The theme for 24-25 in South Brown County is "Destination Limitless"! This afternoon our staff took that theme LITERALLY!
We held our own Amazing Race - with staff broken into groups and using school transportation to travel through the district. Staff - veteran and new, traveled to learn about our area -- library, landmarks, stores, and more! There were also 5 games to be played throughout the tasks (22 to be exact).
This activity was great for team building, and getting to know each other, and believe it or not we have a significant amount of VERY competitive staff -- so that is also fun to be a part of!
Thanks to those in the community that were kind enough to help our staff out! We have a wonderful community that we are proud to be a part!
