Dear Families:
Attached to this post are communications on the Elementary Christmas gift exchange and Caring & Sharing. Neither one of these activities is required, but we encourage students to do what they can. Please contact your child's teacher if you have any questions on either of these upcoming activities.
Students all enjoyed watching the movie The Grinch and popcorn today as a school-wide PBIS incentive. Some students worked on holiday place mats for the local care centers.
Upcoming events yet this December include students joining staff in celebrating A December to Remember with dress up days, PreK-2 grades visiting the Elk Horn Library to view the Christmas Trains, and Kindergarten-5th grade attending a holiday movie at The Rose Theater in Audubon.

Our Spartan Youth Leadership Club helped set up for the Exira Festival of Lights at the Event Center this past week. "Our student members worked hard by setting up tables, chairs, stuffed Christmas bags with treats, strung lights on many Christmas trees, made ornaments, and much more! The Community Club appreciated all their help. Plus it was a lot of fun for our kids!" expressed Lisa Dreier, Youth Leadership Club sponsor.

Spartan Youth Leadership Club has been doing amazing service! The students created a couple Patriotic crafts for each Veteran coming to the Exira-EHK Veteran's Day Program. They also had a couple guest speakers (Jane Jessen and Becky Thompson) from the Exira Study Club bringing them treats for their service setting up for the Exira Fall Festival. The speakers shared their experiences with giving back to your communities by helping and serving people.

Our junior high Student Council officers planned and executed our first assembly of the year. Students signed up and competed in three different competitions: mummy wrap, candy relay, and pie eating. The overall winner for this assembly was the eighth grade winning two out of the three competitions. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and our Junior High Student Council committee is diligently planning the next assembly.
