Thank you to Mrs. Petersen and all of the Elm families who joined the PTO for the viewing of The Wild Robot movie. The movie was fantastic, and it was so fun to watch it all together and see the book we read come to life.

That's a Wrap! Blanket-Making Event Success

Over 50 Elm staff, teachers, parents, and students came together for a successful charity blanket-making event on Monday 9/30. In partnership with Knitting It Together, the school was able to create dozens of blankets for cancer patients at local hospitals. Students felt proud of their work and actively engaged in giving back to the community. All blankets will be washed, tagged with personalized cards, and delivered to hospitals in need of blankets during the month of October. Thanks to all who created or sponsored blankets to make this a very special event!
