Our elementary classrooms—and even our front office—have been busy caring for caterpillars as they make their transition from caterpillar to chrysalis to monarch butterfly!
A big thank you to Mrs. Trygstad for collecting the caterpillars and providing this hands-on learning opportunity for our students and staff. Students have named their caterpillars, observed the changes along the way, and learned more about the life cycle of a monarch. They’re also learning about the incredible journey these butterflies will soon make as they travel all the way to Mexico.
What a great way to bring science to life right here at school!

The Elkton FFA Chapter wants to share a fun fundraising opportunity with you!
At tonight’s home football game, the Elkton FFA Chapter will be selling yard lines for $25 each. The yard line you purchase will be yours for the remainder of the football season during home games. Please see the attached information for further details.
Funds raised through this fundraiser will help cover FFA membership dues for our students, allowing them to be members of the FFA Organization without having to pay those dues out of pocket. Funds will also help cover registration fees and other costs associated with taking students to FFA contests and events throughout the school year.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me! If you are interested in participating, you can stop by my classroom today to select your yard line, or come see us at the football game tonight. We will have a table set up at the entrance to the game.
Thank you for supporting the Elkton FFA Chapter and our students! - Mrs. Dornbusch
