From the English department. - You never know what hidden talent is waiting to be discovered among the Elwood students! The following story written by one of our students is an example of creative writing that one day may make them famous.
IF DOGS HAD THUMBS
If dogs had thumbs, they might discover a world beyond what they’ve always known—a world they could control. They could open doors, feed themselves, and even write the words they’ve wanted to say for so long but never could. But would they still wait at the door for us to come home, or would they walk away, finally free? Would they wipe their own tears when they felt forgotten at the door when you leave for school, or would they still nudge our hands, asking for attention? Perhaps, even with thumbs, they’d choose love over independence, proving that loyalty is not a matter of ability, but of their heart. Or maybe, they would use their new power not to leave us, but to stay closer. They might write us notes, sweet reminders that they have always understood more than we ever even thought of. Maybe they would hold our hands in their own, not to pull away, but to hold on tighter. Would they turn the doorknob just to follow us wherever we go, not because they have to, but because they want to? With thumbs, they could change the world, but maybe they wouldn’t want to. Maybe they’d still choose to snuggle up beside us, still choose to greet us with the same endless happiness, still choose to love us without all the terms and conditions. Because in the end, it was never about what they could do—it was about what they would do. And maybe, even with the power to leave, they would remind us that love is not measured by freedom, but by the choice to stay.

This summer we challenged our athletes to make it to the weight room 80% of the time. We got to celebrate these students hard work this summer with some steaks and lake time. We had many that were close to making it as well, we also had a number of JH kids make most of the summer workouts. We are proud of your hard work. Continue to get better, the future looks bright, and good luck this year! Big shoutout to Coach Wetovick, Coach Schmidt and Coach Spiegel for lining all of this up and the work they put in for the kids over the summer. Go BULLS!!!!
