A BIG congratulations to E-LB sophomore Adam Kinner, who earned 15th place at the Region 2A Cross Country Meet today in Madison! With his finish, he's qualified for the Class A State Meet that will be held in Rapid City next Saturday (24th). Way to go, Adam! #RunWithTheHerd
Today, we continue our Staff Spotlight series by shining a light on our 7-12 principal, Ms. Simmons! She originally hails from Brandon Valley, and this is her 6th year serving as an administrator in Elkton. (Fun fact: as of this week, Ms. Simmons is an official resident of the 57026!)
Ms. Simmons was a busy bee growing up, trying everything from soccer to tap dancing. She stated that she’s inspired by new ways of thinking and problem solving, as well as genuine human connections. Early 2000’s rap and hip-hop songs are her wheelhouse (authors note: tremendous musical era choice, Ms. Simmons), and she’s not afraid to let you know that her beef stroganoff is top notch.
When asked what her favorite thing is about her job is, Ms. Simmons shared that she loves helping teachers reach their fullest potential and providing support to students in need.
Thank you, Ms. Simmons, for all you do for our students, staff, and school!

Elk Snapshot!
Mrs. Jaacks' students were provided with a pack of ramen and challenged to enhance it's taste and presentation by adding a minimum of three ingredients of their choice. They researched the history of ramen, created a unique recipe with cooking steps, identified nutritional information, and rated the final product. What a great way to prep for dorm life!

We handed out our ELK PRIDES for the month of September. Staff members are intentionally recognizing students who live out our core values. We talk about these expectations regularly, and this program provides a positive way to reinforce them.
ELK PRIDE stands for:
P – Personal Responsibility
R – Respect
I – Integrity
D – Dedication
E – Empathy
Our goal is to highlight positive behaviors and accomplishments, encourage consistent positive choices, celebrate growth and achievement, and continue building a strong sense of community across our school.
To these students—thank you for being great examples to those around you. To the staff who recognized them—thank you for being intentional about noticing and reinforcing ELK PRIDE, because what we recognize is what we grow. And to our parents and community—thank you for supporting our school and reinforcing these values beyond our walls.
