A huge CONGRATULATIONS to the Elkton-Lake Benton Competitive Cheer team, as they took home 8th place at today's Class A State Meet! The Elks went up against 20 other Class A schools, and had a raucous student section there supporting them. Along with the team award, Elkton-Lake Benton also had an individual winner, as Mavryck Beck earned the Athletic All-State Award. Congratulations athletes and coaches! #elkpride

It’s a peer-to-peer recognition that shines a spotlight on elementary staff members whose actions make our school stronger, kinder, and better for everyone. Congratulations, Mrs. Weidenbach!

Congratulations to Mr. Erickson on winning a Creative Solutions in Education Grant courtesy of Architecture Incorporated! 66 applicants applied for this grant, and Mr. Erickson was one of four recipients. He will be using this money to purchase 3D printers for use in our manufacturing and agricultural business classes. Students will learn to design, prototype, and produce custom parts and create solutions for agriculture needs, such as equipment parts, animal care tools, and entrepreneurial projects. Way to go, Mr. Erickson, and many thanks to Architect Incorporated for your generous gift!

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Today, we’d like to take a moment to shine some spotlight on our K-12 Art Teacher, Mrs. Osborn. Currently in her second year at Elkton, Mrs. Osborn spent her first semester teaching in Ames, IA before arriving here for the 2024-2025 school year. She can play the banjo, is an expert on the topic of Sioux City, and would enjoy getting some welding done in Mr. Zubke’s class. Her favorite thing about the job in Elkton is the people she gets to work with. And, if we were required to put a wager on one staff member having the ability to befriend a zombie and talk their kind out of a planned apocalypse, Mrs. Osborn would be our first bet. Thank you for all you do for our students and the Elkton School, Mrs. Osborn!
