Need to add money to your child's lunch account?!?

ELMS has been buzzing with learning! From creative classroom projects to community events that bring us together, our students and staff have been busy making a difference. We’re growing minds, building friendships, and spreading our impact beyond the school walls! So many fun things happening: Virtual Reality lessons, Soil and Water Presentation, Sewing in 8th grade and learning how to play chess in 7th and 8th grade.

Celebrate your 8th grader’s journey! Buy an ad in the yearbook to share special memories, photos, and words of encouragement. It’s the perfect way to honor their hard work and send them off to high school with a keepsake they’ll treasure forever.

Save the date!!!

8th Grade Parent Reminder

We will have our first Hang Time of the year. There is a $5 charge to attend. There are several games out to play, social time with friends, and concessions will be available by our PTO. Students should be picked up at 4:30. 6th graders will be picked up in the car rider line. 7th/8th graders should be picked up in the PE loop (closest to the softball field). If you are picking up students from multiple grades, please use the car rider loop.

Save the Date! Take the night off from cooking and support ELMS!

Mark your calendar!

HangTime Friday!!!
