This week, the students in JK-4th grade had special visits from the Elk Point Police Department and the Union County Sheriff’s Department as part of Red Ribbon Week!
The officers spoke with classes about making safe, healthy, and drug-free choices. We’re grateful for their partnership and the positive role models they provide for our students.

On Friday kindergarten went on a nature walk to explore the world around us! The kids collected leaves, seeds, flowers, and other natural treasures along the way. We used our finds to create beautiful nature collages. The students loved observing the different colors, shapes, and textures in nature — it was a wonderful hands-on learning experience!
