Countdown to Summer


One-Day Sock Collection, May 26th

This month at Elm School, our Social Emotional Learning theme focuses on helping our community. Through our BESTIES lessons, students will be learning about empathy, kindness, and the importance of supporting others — especially those who may be less fortunate.

Did you know that socks are one of the most requested items at homeless shelters? To put our learning into action, Elm School will be hosting a one-day sock collection on Wacky Sock Day, May 26.

We invite students and families to wear their wackiest socks to school and consider donating new socks to help individuals in need within our community.

Your generosity helps our students see how small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference. Thank you for partnering with us to teach compassion, service, and care for others.

Prior to dismissal, our annual indoor “Clap Out” celebration will begin at approximately 11:30 a.m. During this tradition, our fifth grade students will walk through the main school hallway as students and staff cheer them on before exiting through the doors nearest the music classroom.

All other students will be dismissed from their regular dismissal doors at approximately 11:40 a.m.

If your child normally rides the bus but will not be taking the bus home that day, please notify the front office in advance. Additionally, if your child will be going home with another student, we will need that information as well. Thank you!
