ELA Curriculum:
Our district is in the process of adopting a new English Language Arts curriculum (PK-12). Both buildings have dedicated teams who have been working hard researching various curriculums. We are excited to roll out a new curriculum for the 23-24 school year.
Activities & Athletics:
We are in our busy months of Winter Sports and Activities. Basketball and Wrestling are now in full swing, with Speech starting tomorrow. Next Friday January 13th please plan to come out to the Elm Creek Wrestling Invitational. Wrestling begins at 11 AM. We will have 16 teams with teams from Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado. We are working hard on making this a great event for Elm Creek. We also want to give a huge shoutout to our boys and girls basketball teams for their Elm Creek Holiday Tournament Championships. Both teams played very well and we are proud of them.
