Thank you PTO and Senate Theater for spoiling our staff today with a popcorn bar.

Mrs. Kaimainn's year end alphabet countdown continues. Too bad we all didn't know yesterday was P for Popsicle. Her students enjoyed a popsicle on the playground in addition to other "p" activities.



Mrs. Ogden's fifth graders went to read to Mrs. Clote's first graders.





Thank you PTO for providing lunch today from Don Julio's!


Mrs. Jolene Hatcher serves all the students and staff at the Elsberry R-2 School District. Not only does she deal with sickness, she monitors daily meds, immunization records, schedules the dental clinic and vision van, and does CPR and First Aid training. This is just the tip of the iceberg of all the things she does day to day. Nobody looks forward to a call from the school nurse, but we are very lucky to have Mrs. Hatcher on our staff.

We are celebrating Nurse Hatcher throughout the District today on National School Nurse Day. When Mrs. Hatcher is not at school she enjoys camping and spending time with her family. Thank you for all you do each day Jolene!

Our SRO is the best! SRO Conner participated in dress like a student day and provided a snack cart to our staff for teacher appreciation week. Thanks for providing all of the extra fun and treats!
