Elm Creek Public School District

Congratulations to Cole Brodine and Hannah Hild on being re-elected to another term on the Elm Creek Board of Education! We appreciate your continued commitment to our students, staff, and school community.

Congratulations to Jennifer McDaniel on being elected to her first term on the School Board starting in January. We look forward to having you join the team and appreciate your willingness to serve our district.

We also want to say a special thank you to Alicia Beavers for her time, dedication, and service to Elm Creek Public Schools. Alicia chose not to run for another term, and we are grateful for the time and effort she has given to our students, staff, and community.

Thank you to all who ran, and those that are willing to serve and help make Elm Creek Public Schools the best we can be!

💪 Huge shoutout to the Elm Creek Booster Club!!! They recently purchased six Olympic barbells and one junior high barbell for our Strength and Conditioning classes! A couple of the bars we were using had been in the weight room for 20+ years! We are extremely grateful for their continued support and investment in our students! Thank you, Elm Creek Booster Club! Love Blue, Live Gold!

We are so proud of senior Keyan! He was accepted to the Doane University Wind Festival band, and they performed on Saturday, 10/31. Nice job Keyan!

This kid keeps raising the bar! Ethan improved from a 33 to a 34 on the ACT! I have had the privilege of working with this amazing young man since Kindergarten! Ethan has put in countless UNSEEN hours to reach his goals. He was in the gym a little before 6 a.m. getting extra shots up and preparing for basketball season. Ethan has always understood that achieving goals requires a process, hard work, and a willingness to embrace challenges. Those efforts have led to some amazing accomplishments! Keep pushing, Ethan! Love Blue, Live Gold!!

Elm Creek Public Schools
Regular Board of Education Meeting

Monday, November 9, 2026
6:00 p.m.
Room #801 – South Side Door #2

t's time for our annual "Give Where You Live" Elm Creek Foundation for Success Change Wars!

We will have change jugs set up by the main entrance for the next couple of weeks.

Here's how it works:

Add COINS to your jug to increase your total!

Add PAPER BILLS to your competitors' jugs to bring their totals down. All paper bills placed in a jug will count against the coins collected in that jug!

The goal is to get your jug's total as HIGH as possible using coins while trying to bring down the competition with paper bills!

Good luck, and may the best jug win!

GO BUFFS!!
