Several third graders gave readers' theater performances for the preschoolers. The third graders have been working hard to read texts with fluency, and the preschoolers loved the stories!

This week at EHS! Go Elks!
We handed out our ELK PRIDES for the month of October. 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.
Receiving Elk Prides this month are:
Abigail Schuuman
Aiden Kuehl
Ashlynn Drietz
Avery Garza
Bobby Stein
Brenna Rochel
Cole Bierman
Eliza Boerger
Emma Jervik
Everleigh Lesnar
Gideon VanDyke
Jett Delaney
Kylie Kampmann
Lila Bierman
Lucas Rochel
Madisyn Delaney
Mark Madill
Max Ponto
Morgan Renkly
Noah Schuurman
Piper Pankonin
Roman Aguilar Jasso
Rori Lacek

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.

Each year, EHS staff nominate seniors for the DAR Good Citizen Award to recognize students demonstrating qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Seniors vote for the student they feel most exemplifies those qualities and the winner has the chance to compete for a scholarship. Congrats to this year's winner David Olson! Other nominees were Angie Deutz, Kadence Olberding, Madde Jensen, Evie Foss, and Claire McMahon. Great job representing Elkton!!!

This week's events at EHS! Go Elks!
If you've driven by school in last day or two, you may have noticed the west side of the building looks a little snazzier than usual, as privacy window film has been added to 3 of our main entries. The film – decorated with Elk Pride – allows for a clear view looking out of the building while providing privacy for students and staff inside. Be sure to take a look the next time you visit!
