ELK OF THE MONTH: 2024-25

September's ELKS Way pillar is LEADERSHIP.

There are many ways to display leadership at school, these students did so by keeping up on amazing attendance, conducting themselves in a proper manner at school, showing their peers what it means to follow the ELKS Way, participating in Student Council, participating in school sports, and using good communication and problem-solving skills when dealing with others. Congratulations to our September Elk of the Month recipients! Keep showing LEADERSHIP!
