Dear Elmore Families, Week 20 began with an important lesson in civics as students at the Elmore School showed up to support their community in an effort to show support for the Elmore Post Office and Elmore Store. When students learned two weeks ago that the Elmore Post Office was in danger of closing as soon as February 4th, they were as upset as …
Dear Elmore families, We are back into the full swing of things in the Elmore School!

They have been working hard to move the snow into a pile in order to carve out an awesome snow fort. They have added …
Dear Elmore Families, Last week was a whirlwind filled with projects, ECO, and special surprises! Though the air felt more like spring during the middle of the week, students were busy inside the school finishing up their secret Pal Projects! What I love about these projects the most is the student engagement and thought that goes into each and every project. Every student has persevered …
We had another great week at the Elmore School. Students were busy making and creating as their Secret Pal projects got underway.

It’s hard to imagine that we are already 1/3 of the way through the school year, but here we are! In literacy students are finishing our first writing unit. This …
Dear Elmore Families, We have reached a point in the school year where students have settled into a routine. The know the routines and are able to settle into tasks and transition to the next “thing” with ease. It excites me when students express their enthusiasm for what they know is coming next whether it be writing and reading, math, or science. Likewise, when …
Dear Elmore Families, I can hardly believe we just completed our tenth week of the school year! I guess the saying is true, “Times flies when you are having fun!” Students showed their school spirit this week as we all wore our new school shirts to school on Tuesday. Thank you so much to Heather Hill and local community members who made this happen. …

With the funds from our very successful yard sale/bake …

I’d also like to thank Heather Hill, who graciously agreed …
