A Word From the Nurse

Student Council Food Drive

Elrod Eagles, it's time to RUMBLE! Which grade level can collect the most cereal boxes? Starting November 11, bring in cereal boxes to help support the San Antonio Food Bank. Every box counts! The winning grade earns a special prize, and on November 20, we'll line up all our donated boxes throughout the school for one HUGE domino toppling event! Let's see how big of an impact Elrod can make!
