Elkton School District #5-3

Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our band program at the Band Banquet! It was a treat to see so many talented students and supportive community members come together. A special thank you to Charles Remund for his generous donation to our band program. His support will help us purchase a new set of marching drums!

Band Banquet in the North Gym at EPS.

Today, we’d like to shine a little light on our School Counselor, Mrs. Yackley! A self-described “anti-collector,” Mrs. Yackley has a love for music and used to be in Marching Band. Because of that, she’d choose to visit Mrs. Ravenscroft’s room if she was able to attend another teacher’s class for the day. Had she not become a counselor, Professional Dancing may have been another possible career route. We’re glad she landed on her current profession, though. Thank you for all the great things you do for our students and school, Mrs. Yackley!
