Elwood Public Schools is collecting monetary donations to help support Team Jack and their efforts to raise funds and awareness for pediatric brain cancer. Every donation, big or small, can make a difference in supporting children and families affected by brain cancer.

If you would like to help our students support this important cause, monetary donations can be brought to school with any elementary student and placed in their classroom donation bucket. Donations will be collected leading up to the Team Jack Radiothon on September 24, 2026.

Thank you for helping the Elwood community come together and teaching our students the importance of giving, caring, and making a difference!

September is National Fruit and Vegetable month! Our Foods 1 class began thr month by making fresh salsa and fruit salad while practicing their safe knife skills.
