Good morning! One more week until winter break. We can do this! Next week will go quickly but there will still be learning occurring in every classroom every day. Please have your students here on time and ready to learn. Our winter parties will begin at 2:15 on Friday the 22nd. Dismissal will be at the regular time of 3:06.

Student Council:Thank you for all of the diapers that have been donated for the Lydia House! We appreciate you giving to this special cause.

The Mitten Tree: Thank you everyone for your support during this record year for the Womenade of Elkhorn Celebration of Giving! Due to the generosity of the Elkhorn community, our project was able to help fill 1,400 wishes of Elkhorn Public Schools children and families. That was a record for our organization, and a record that you, our community, can be proud to share. Thank you for the blessings you have bestowed upon us, your classmates and neighbors, and may those blessings abound in your families as well.

Breakfast: It has been shared that we have a handful of students entering the EKC doors around 7:20 for breakfast who are not enrolled in the EKC program. If your child is not a part of the EKC program, they cannot come in for breakfast until 7:30. Please do not drop them off until that time. Unfortunately, if they are dropped off prior to 7:30, they will need to stay outside because the Kids Campus employees are unable to watch additional numbers of students under their state regulations.

HyVee Receipts: The final date that receipts can be accepted are December 31st. These can be collected until that date. They can be delivered to PTO after the winter break but not dated after December 31st.

Lost and Found: All items in the lost and found will be sent to COPE on the afternoon of December 22nd after 4PM. If you would like to take one final look prior to that time frame, please feel free to do so.
