Congrats to Chelsea (shot & discus), Kamden (wrestling), & Brett (wrestling) for getting your name on the Sunny Meadows Individual State Champion Board. It's awesome we had 4 gold medals come back to Elm Creek. I don't think that has happened many times in our history. GO BUFFS!!

MS Health students in 8th grade are beginning season 2 of our Believe In You Series. They get to watch season 1 in 7th grade. Mrs. Killion loves to show these videos to the students in the hopes they find some take aways and life lessons they can use in their everyday lives. If you have an 8th grader ask them about these videos. They also will be getting a "Would You Rather" question on Mondays and Tuesdays while in class. This week was a fun one. How would you have voted?

MS girls are putting in the work this week working on volleyball skills for their upcoming season.

The Elm Creek Fire Department will be selling raffle tickets at the scrimmages Friday night. We will have a table at volleyball and they will be at the ambulance at the football field. Thanks for all you do for our community!

Join us for PK open house tonight from 5:30-6:30 if you plan to attend our morning or afternoon preschool! Please enter the doors by the playground!

Sending out this week's activities again to include our band marching at our Stampede Days Parade! We can't wait to see them in action!
