It's hard to believe, but it is Boo at the Boss time y'all. It will be October 29 from 6 - 7 pm; Boss Hill Stadium. This has become a
wonderful Elkmont community event that our student athletes,
cheerleaders and band enjoy so much.
Several people have asked how they
can help out...If you would like to make a monetary donation for us to
purchase candy when we make our Sam's run or you would like to purchase
the candy you can contact Mary Jane. We have more and more children
come through each year and no matter the size of donation it will be
appreciated. We love this tradition and hope to carry on for years to
come.

Such creativity roam the halls during Elkmont Homecoming Week. What will it be on the second day of Homecoming?
On Monday morning, November 9th, the Elkmont High School gymnasium was filled with students, teachers, parents, and community members, all donning red, white, and blue, to celebrate and honor Veterans of the United States Military. Local Veterans were recognized in the program that was organized solely by the FCCLA and FFA student organizations at Elkmont High School.
This student-led program included performances by the 4th grade students and the Elkmont High School Band.
Our featured special guest speaker was Lt. Col. Adrian Erckenbrack. He also spoke to many of our students on 9/11/15 about his firsthand experience at the Pentagon the day of the 9/11 attacks on America.
His Veterans Day presentation depicted the process that our Veterans went through from joining the military, to training, active duty, deployment, and finally homecoming. EHS would like to thank Lt. Col. Erckenbrack for supporting our community and school by investing time into speaking with our students and sharing his knowledge.

FCCLA Members:
