Elm Creek Families and Community: We discovered that there was a mistake on the 25-26 school calendar. Originally, the calendar stated that we do not have school on Thursday, April 23rd - This is incorrect. There will be NO SCHOOL for students on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2026 due to Elm Creek Public School hosting District Music. We will have a regular day of school on Thursday, April 23rd, 2026.
We apologize for any confusion and appreciate your flexibility and understanding!

The Pep Rally for State FFA & State Speech is this Friday, March 20th at 8:45am. All are welcome to attend. We have to do it this week due to the crazy number of events next week and kids out of the building. The FFA send off will follow the pep rally. We will not do a fire truck because of several different leave times due to competition times. State Speech send off is going to be at the school for students and staff on Thursday, March 26th at 3:00pm. We will do a community send off for Speech at 6:30am on Friday, March 27th with a firetruck for those that want to attend. Good luck to everyone! It's great to be a Buffalo!!

Thomas giving his Extemp Speech. This is one tough thing to do. He gets a topic and has a short amount of time to research and write a speech. He then has to give it. Way to do tough things Thomas! It was so good!
