Spartan Schedule for the week of May 25

Yesterday (5/22) our youngest Spartans had Preschool graduation. Each student wore a cap and gown and walked in to their very own commencement. Miss Harris presented each preschooler with a diploma. Kindergarten here they come!!

Taryn Petersen ran the 400 dash at the state meet this Thursday. She finished 17th overall with all time personal best of 1:01.42. Austin Rasmussen ran the mile today and finished 16th place with a school record time of 4:38.18 He broke the record that was set in 2018 by Evan Wilson. Congratulations to both of our Exira-Ehk Spartan Track qualifiers!

We are excited for our elementary Track & Field Day, Mr. Brown and Miss Beth have been working hard organizing a fun experience for all students... and the warmth of next week will make this much more enjoyable!

Last night students in grades K-5 gave us the "Sounds of Happiness" with their spring concert. Miss Asmus did a great job with the kids and it was so fun to see them ALL sing together on "What a Wonderful World" 😊 Well done all!

Spring Scholastic Book Fair will be open in the elementary cafeteria before and after the Music Program at 6:30 tonight, May 19.

Come enjoy their biggest sale!

Students in grades K-5 who met their semester AR goal were rewarded today with a trip to the Atlantic YMCA. Inflatables, wheelie carts, basketball; the kids had a blast!

EEHK Elementary End of the Year Events:

Please see the attached image for all end of the year events at the elementary.

Please note: Track and Field Day has been moved to the make up date of Wednesday, May 20 due to rain and low temp predictions. K-2 is 9:00-11:00 and 3rd-5th is 1:00-3:00.

Friday was Janitor Kevin's last day before his retirement. We honored his service with a poem, card, and a broom signed by all of the kids. Thank you for 15 years of service, Kevin. May your next adventure "sweep" you away!

Mrs. Hansen has outdone herself this year with the One School One Book - Wish Tree. She and members of the OSOB committee created a paper tree in the commons and continued to add to it throughout the weeks of OSOB. Students & staff wrote wishes to "tie" to the tree like in the book. It is truly breathtaking to see. (Thanks for all who participated and read our OSOB this year) And if you think that's something- she'll have a Book Fair set up this week and at Tivoli! Proceeds go toward new books in the school library!!

The last elementary Friday celebration was chock full of stuff! The final OSOB answers were given, 3-5 PRIDE certificates were doled out, AR achievers were recognized and Weston, Jonathan, & Amelia got special recognition for their achievements for AR.

Friday morning the seniors walked the elementary for their "clap out" - the elementary students love getting to cheer on the 'big kids.'

On Friday, elementary students did community service for "Spartans Give Back." Kinders cleaned up around the school, first and second cleaned Legion Park, third cleaned the city park, fourth cleaned Brayton park, and fifth helped at Littlefield.
