This kid keeps raising the bar! Ethan improved from a 33 to a 34 on the ACT! I have had the privilege of working with this amazing young man since Kindergarten! Ethan has put in countless UNSEEN hours to reach his goals. He was in the gym a little before 6 a.m. getting extra shots up and preparing for basketball season. Ethan has always understood that achieving goals requires a process, hard work, and a willingness to embrace challenges. Those efforts have led to some amazing accomplishments! Keep pushing, Ethan! Love Blue, Live Gold!!

t's time for our annual "Give Where You Live" Elm Creek Foundation for Success Change Wars!
We will have change jugs set up by the main entrance for the next couple of weeks.
Here's how it works:
Add COINS to your jug to increase your total!
Add PAPER BILLS to your competitors' jugs to bring their totals down. All paper bills placed in a jug will count against the coins collected in that jug!
The goal is to get your jug's total as HIGH as possible using coins while trying to bring down the competition with paper bills!
Good luck, and may the best jug win!
