The Chambers County School District is helping spread awareness for heart health this Friday by wearing red!
Eastside J.P. Powell Magnet School students are encouraged to join us by wearing red as we raise awareness for heart health. We are also proud to wear red in support of one of our dedicated teachers, Miss April Dark, who has undergone heart operations and continues to inspire us every day by making a positive impact in the lives of students here at Eastside.
Let’s come together, show our support, and spread awareness! ❤️

Amazing Shake Competition Winners
We’re proud to celebrate our 6th–8th grade students who competed in this year’s Amazing Shake! Twenty-five participants brought their best professionalism, poise, and communication skills—congratulations to our winners:
• Overall Winner: Emmanuel Floyd (8th Grade, WF Burns Middle School)
• Second Place: Mason Landrum (6th Grade, WF Burns Middle School)
• Third Place: Courtney LaShae Jenkins (8th Grade, WF Burns Middle School)
These three students will travel to Montgomery in March for a three-day internship on the State House floor during the legislative session—an incredible real-world leadership opportunity.
Huge thanks to Dr. Weldon, Dr. Jones, Dr. Groover, Sarah Maddux, and everyone who helped make the Amazing Shake a success. We appreciate your time, mentorship, and support for our students.
What’s the Amazing Shake? It’s a competition that teaches students professional skills—like handshakes, interviews, conversation, and problem-solving—through real-world scenarios and friendly competition.
Every week on Bulldogs News, we celebrate the importance of showing up and track average daily attendance across all grade levels. Any grade that meets our weekly goal earns a special prize!
For the week of January 12th, the goal was 90% attendance. The reward? Lunch in the classroom with a movie anda Facebook shoutout!
Fourth grade was the ONLY grade to meet the goal! 🏆
Huge shoutout to our 4th graders, their parents, and their amazing teachers, Mrs. Kent and Ms.Bakarich, for making sure students are present at school and actively engaged in their learning.
Way to go, Fourth Grade! Keep it up! 💪📚
💵 Please remember:
To help everything run smoothly, students are encouraged to bring correct change, as teachers and the front office will not be able to provide change.
⏰ Important:
The front office will accept money until 9:00 a.m. CST. After that time, snack shack payments will no longer be accepted for the day.
Thank you for your support in making this a smooth and successful event for our students! 🐾💛
Thank you for your patience as we navigated the winter weather. We’re hopeful that road conditions have improved and that everything is clear and ready to go. But, please be careful and watch for slick spots on less-traveled roads.
📚🏫 We look forward to welcoming everyone back to school tomorrow, Tuesday, January 27.
Stay warm tonight, and we’ll see you soon!
This brief shift to remote learning is a proactive measure intended to curb the spread of illness and allow our facilities to be thoroughly sanitized before students return.
We appreciate your flexibility and cooperation as we work together to keep our school community healthy and safe.
