We are off to a wonderful start to the school year! Students have settled into their routines, are reconnecting with friends and teachers and are embracing the many opportunities that a new school year brings. Our staff have been working hard to create welcoming, supportive learning environments, and it has been wonderful to see the positive energy throughout the school. We look forward to building on this strong start together as the year unfolds!
School Council Meeting – This Week
The first School Council meeting of the year will take place on Thursday, September 17 at 6:30 in the Learning Commons. This is a great way for parents to get involved and learn about school happenings. There are a few volunteer positions available that would benefit the school. Elboya benefits greatly from the financial and volunteer efforts of the Council. Later this fall a casino is scheduled. We are grateful for our engaged and supportive families.
