The Elwood and Eustis/Farnam 5th graders celebrated their annual "Bullsgiving" event today! We shared a delicious Thanksgiving meal and participated in some fun-filled activities!
November is National Career Month and the K-6th grade classes spent a couple lessons learning about different kinds of education you can get after high school, the Nebraska CTE (Career & Technical Education) model, and careers that fall in each career cluster. To celebrate, we have a poster of each class to share that shows what each student wants to be when they group up. These are so fun to look back on as these students get older and gain a clearer idea of what they want life to look like after high school. First up...Kindergarten!
Our Elwood Early Intervention Team has put together a series of flyers with information about developmental milestones so we will share one here each week. Take a look and reach out to the Elwood Early Intervention Team if you have concerns about your child's development!
Here are this morning's book drawing winners!
Foods classes had their Thanksgiving labs today, putting lessons in meal planning and plating to practice! Foods 1 made side dishes for a holiday meal to enjoy together while Foods 2 designed Charcuterie boards.
Mrs. Corder’s 4th grade class has been learning all about the great state of Nebraska! This last week, they created crafts for Nebraska’s State Symbols. They did the state flag, state bird (meadowlark), state mammal (white-tailed deer) , state flower (goldenrod) , and the state insect (honey bee). Great job, 4th graders!

Elwood One-Act is about to go on stage in Minden! Break a leg!!
We held our first annual mock interview event where each senior was matched with a career professional to practice their interviewing skills. The career professionals were impressed with our students and gave them great feedback. A tremendous "thank you" to our interviewers for taking time out of their day to help our students. This event was the definition of "it takes a village!"

Today we hosted Megan Bellamy, Elwood alum and courtroom stenographer, to share about her career with interested students. She brought the machine she uses to show students how courtroom reporting works. Such a fascinating career that requires two years of postsecondary education and can be done full-time or freelance. Thank you, Megan, for sharing your time and talents with us!
