Elk Snapshot:

Mrs.Jaack's Child Development 2 class and Mrs. Sorensen's Afternoon Preschool class have been collaborating on a couple different projects to start the 3rd Quarter. Mrs.Jaack's students have created fun and interactive bulletin boards to be featured in the hallway for students to practice a specific skill. The January bulletin board focused on sorting shapes! Mrs. Jaack's students have also been working hard creating children's books! Students presented their books to the Afternoon Preschool class and shared information about weather, the 5 senses, counting, and the ABC's!

Here's a peek at some of the cool stuff happening around school:

Last week, Mrs. Anderson's 3rd grade classes had a zoom call with the Grand Teton National Park Rangers. They learned about how animals adapted to the winter weather in the park. It was a fantastic learning opportunity!

This week at EHS! Please note the time/order of games for Tuesday's dobuleheader as well as game times for Thursday and Friday as they have changed slightly from the schedules/calendars at the beginning of the seasons.

Check out the flyer for tonight's DH at De Smet.

FCCLA Week is Feb 9-13, and we'll be celebrating with dress up days and study hall activities!

Happy School Counselor’s Week to Mrs. Bonnie Yackley! Your talents, commitment, and dedication amplify student success and strengthen our entire school community. Thank you for the positive difference you make every day!

Tonight’s girls’ game against Clark-Willow Lake is an extra special event, as the Lady Elks are playing for more than basketball. Each player chose something meaningful to them to play in honor of, reminding us that there is a deeper purpose behind the game. – Coach Babb
