The Elkton School was the recipient of a $1000 donation courtesy of Pipestone. Pipestone manages the Bobcat Farms in Elkton and employs 16 team members. Some of the children of these workers attend the Elkton School.
The money will be used to help purchase items such as headphones for students, Lysol wipes, and other school supplies.
We thank Pipestone for their support of our students. Thank you for making a difference!
Pictured receiving the check from Margarita Crivelli Diaz of Pipestone is Kelly Neill, Elkton K-6 Principal.
Tomorrow's lunch (Wednesday) will be Chicken Patty on a Bun instead of Chicken Hotdish.
Congratulations to Riddick Westley who is this year's DAR Good Citizen Award winner! He now has the opportunity to compete for a scholarship.
Six students were nominated by faculty for the DAR Good Citizen Award for EHS. These students exemplify the qualities of a Good Citizen (Dependability, Service, Leadership, and Patriotism). Nominees this year were Tevan Erickson, Malayna Hemmen, Jenae Christensen, Kylie Ramlo, Riddick Westley, and Marcela Mejia Valencia (not pictured). Seniors voted for the person they felt most demonstrates these qualities.
There will be a walking taco feed to help support the Flores family on Thursday, October 19th before the football game (5-6:30pm).
It is a free will donation and all proceeds will benefit medical and travel expenses the Flores family may encounter.
