Happy School Counselor’s Week to Mrs. Bonnie Yackley! Your talents, commitment, and dedication amplify student success and strengthen our entire school community. Thank you for the positive difference you make every day!

Tonight’s girls’ game against Clark-Willow Lake is an extra special event, as the Lady Elks are playing for more than basketball. Each player chose something meaningful to them to play in honor of, reminding us that there is a deeper purpose behind the game. – Coach Babb
