Students grades 5 through 11 are invited to visit Eastern Mennonite Middle and High School Nov. 5.<\/p>\n
Visitors will shadow a student with similar interests, observe classes, sit in on chapel service, eat lunch and learn about extracurricular activities. Parents are invited for an informational session, chapel and a tour of the campus.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a great way to just come and \u2018feel\u2019 whether EMS is the right fit for students and their families,\u201d says Marsha Thomas, admissions counselor for K-12.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you walk in our hallways and see that we trust each other enough to leave backpacks unattended and lockers unlocked, when you feel the interaction in a small classroom, when you potentially join a class using digital cameras outdoors or doing plant identification in nearby Park Woods, you know if this is right for you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prospective students and families are encouraged to register with this form by Oct.29 so the school can be prepared to welcome and host each student, based on their individual interests.<\/p>\n
