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!

Today, we’d like to shine a little light on our School Counselor, Mrs. Yackley! A self-described “anti-collector,” Mrs. Yackley has a love for music and used to be in Marching Band. Because of that, she’d choose to visit Mrs. Ravenscroft’s room if she was able to attend another teacher’s class for the day. Had she not become a counselor, Professional Dancing may have been another possible career route. We’re glad she landed on her current profession, though. Thank you for all the great things you do for our students and school, Mrs. Yackley!
