Life Ready is a program that was created at EWMS in the summer of 2023 to help prepare students for life! Our staff took all of the things we wish we would’ve learned in school, and turned it into a course!
All of our 6th and 7th grade students have a full class to learn Life Ready skills. In addition, our 5th and 8th graders receive lessons during homeroom and class time to learn these skills.
In February, every student in the school competes in the Life Ready Challenge. This is an obstacle course of real life challenges such as folding laundry, grocery shopping on a budget, checking the oil in a lawn mower engine, doubling a recipe, interviewing for a job, giving directions using a map, and more! This competition has two rounds, and usually starts in February. This competition also has 10 individual finalists who receive a sweet prize package.
We are always looking for guest speakers, judges, and volunteers to help with our Life Ready program. If you’re interested, please contact the middle school office!
