Mrs. Schopke's 3rd graders had a science experiment with their reading lesson today! We are currently learning about light and shadows! The students took 4 different kinds of paper and a flashlight to see which were transparent and opaque! Such fun!









2nd Grade just finished their CKLA unit over The War of 1812. Today they made American Flags just like Mary Pickersgill did! 🇺🇸





These 4th and 5th graders mastered more facts! 😎Way to go!

Fun at the Winter Activities Pep Rally!





As we approach the new year we are beginning planning for the High School Wrestling Tourney. Three years ago we set out to rebuild this tournament into a high quality varsity tournament again. We are almost there, and it is because of all the help from the wrestling community and your support. On Friday, January 17th, we will have 17 Boys & 23 Girls Varsity teams coming to EC to Wrestle on 5 mats. We are in need of sponsors for the lunch meal that has helped us grow this tourney. A sponsorship is $100. This gets you two tickets to our steak lunch, free entry to the tournament, and your name on the banner. We are so excited for this tournament with teams coming from all over Nebraska and one team from Colorado. Thank you so much for your help! Please let Mr Marquez know if you would like to be a sponsor. You can drop a check off in the office. If you have questions let me know. GO BUFFS!

Book Blast begins today! All you have to do is invite 10+ friends and family members to earn some awesome prizes and a chance to win one of our Treasure Chests or an Epic Treasure Chest! Visit https://bookblast.booksarefun.com/ElmCreekSD68836 and unlock treasure. It takes just 7 minutes TONIGHT. #BookBlast #UnlockTheTreasure.
The first 50 to register and invite 10+ friends and family members will receive their treasure map prizes the very next day! Any student who qualifies after that will still receive the prizes after the event.
