Blue Jays Game

What a wonderful singing of the national anthems by the grades 2-5 students.  Thank you to Mrs. Tiernay, Mrs. Lee, and Mrs. Jenkins for their preparation.   Thank you to the parents for your support.  It was great to see Elkhorn on “the big screen”! 

A PROGRAM FOR THE FUN FAIR IS ATTACHED. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK—THERE WILL BE SO MANY GREAT EVENTS, ATTRACTIONS & FOOD

Also check out our Fun Fair page to see the great auction items (new ones being added daily) including a Dyson vacuum, hotel stays in Montreal, New York City and Miami, as well as the great theme baskets being made by your child's grade.  http://elkhornschoolcouncil.weebly.com/fun-fair-2012.html

We need still need volunteers (especially high school students) for day of event:

We need parent and high school student volunteers from 9am to 4pm (even for a few hours) to help make this event a success. High school students can earn up to 8 volunteer hours. Please email elkhornvolunteer@gmail.com with your time availabilities.
