Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton Community School District

3/27/26 Friday Celebration: 3-5 PRIDE Certificates K-2 Drawings

Spartan Schedule for the week of March 2nd.

We ended our Epic Friday of Fun with our Kickoff to Kids Heart Challenge. The Elementary students and staff met the Heart Heroes and got to hear the first-hand account of what it was like for Dash and his family. Go Spartans!

Friday was the 100th Day of School and the kids and teachers in the elementary had a ton of fun!!

Exira EHK Elementary School families,
We’ve officially launched Kids Heart Challenge with the American Heart Association - let’s rally to change lives and be heart heroes for kids!

Through Finn’s Mission, you’ll learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR and how to recognize a stroke. Here are the next steps to take today:
1. Sign Up for Kids Heart Challenge by downloading the free “AHA Schools” app for Apple or Android or by clicking HERE.
2. Be a hero: Send 10 texts TODAY to help save lives.
3. Complete Finn’s Mission: Learn Hands-Only CPR, earn your lifesavers cape and be entered
to win two Super Bowl tickets!

By signing up and raising funds, you can help us earn gift certificates for physical activity and recess equipment to support the health & wellness of our school community.
We can’t wait to see our school create a community of lifesavers this year.

Friday morning we started our day with Ag Olympics brought to us by the HS FFA officers. Students in grades K-5 represented their classes in 4 events: bag race, dress the farmer, horse race, and herd the animals. Thanks to the FFA members for the fun

Reminder of Dr. Seuss Week dress up days this week!

Spartan Speech did so well today! We took 21 pieces and 12 of them earned Division 1 ratings moving on to State contest in 2 weeks. 9 of them earned Division 2 rating - quite respectable. Let's give a big Spartan cheer to all of our IE performers today!!

Unfortunately Strawberry pick up is POSTPONED. New date and time is TBD.

Parent Teacher Conferences are March 10th & March 12th!

For the MS/HS Building -- We do not schedule conferences; it is a come and go-type atmosphere.

There is also a DC Meeting for students going to DC this year on either Tuesday (6:30pm) or Thursday (4:30pm)

On Wednesday, Christina visited the elementary to teach us about pollution and water flow & quality. Students helped model what happens when pesticides and other contaminates affect a water supply.

EEHK Elementary will be celebrating Read Across America Week next week with Dr. Seuss Dress Up Days!
