Although the winter break was just a short time ago, students have jumped right into learning and are working hard, showing enthusiasm and kindness every day. Thank you for raising such wonderful individuals - it’s a real pleasure to have them with us at Elboya! We are also grateful for our supportive parent community and would like to extend a sincere thank you to our amazing parents for working the casino this weekend to further set up our school for success. Merci beaucoup!
Band News
As some of you may know, the ESBPA (Elboya School Band Parent Association) is "moving". After being our own charitable organization for many years, we are wrapping up the Association and moving our efforts under the "umbrella" of the Elboya School Fundraising Society (ESFS). This change reduces administrative requirements, allows our band program to receive additional funding from the ESFS and means that our wonderful volunteers can devote their time to fundraising through bottle drives, raffles and various other fun activities. Mrs. Bates and all parents participating in fundraising for the Elboya School Band Program look forward to working with the Parent Council and the ESFS this spring and into the future. Thank you, Elboya Families, for the many, many years of supporting band activities! Here's to many more!
Wrestling News
Best of luck to our wrestling athletes that are competing this weekend. Bonne chance! We are proud of you!
