What a gorgeous piece of artwork created by Brandon. He is using his skills from Ag Mechanics and Wood Shop to craft this beauty!
Lots of awesomeness going on in JH Social Studies! They are studying Egyptian civilizations and mummification techniques, and with a cross-curricular link to osmosis in science class. How? They are mummifying apples to understand the process, and to model preservation techniques.
Let's celebrate Brianna for being recognized as a Husky Humanitarian for Kindness, Compassion and Resiliency! Mrs. Anderson states, "Brianna constantly helps those around her that need help and shows genuine compassion towards her peers. She has shown resiliency in her classes by putting herself in uncomfortable situations and facing her fears. Speaking in front of the class is unfamiliar and uncomfortable, but she did it!" Thank you Brianna for pushing through and showing yourself that you can do tough stuff!
ASB leaders working hard during lunch to plan an exciting winter homecoming. The theme is Winter Wonderland and dress-up days will be fabulous. Stay tuned!
Fairy houses in ART class! Our huskies are incredibly creative, and I have already picked the one I would live in! Thank you Ms. Wasley for providing a peaceful environment for students to relax and create!

Good afternoon student families and staff. This message serves as a reminder there will be no school in the Elgin School District on Monday January 16th in observance of the Martin Luther King holiday. School will resume on Tuesday the 17th with doors opening at 7:30. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Whoo hoo Aryanna! Mrs. Sheehy has recognized her for Husky Humanitarian! She states, "While working on hallway decorations, Aryanna noticed how stressed her class was, and maintained a calm, positive, and bright attitude amid the chaos. Her bright smile and confident leadership put everyone at ease, and it was much appreciated!" Thanks Aryanna for bringing light into stormy moments!
I believe Ms. Oveson is a wonderful candidate for the Humanitarian Husky Award because she spreads excitement and school pride, encouraging Elgin students to get involved and try something new. Students see her energy and school pride through all the innovative ideas she brings to Elgin Jr/Sr High.
I see Lynique’s pride and enthusiasm when she takes the initiative at our assemblies encouraging students to get up and get involved. I really liked what she did at the Thanksgiving ‘Husky CHEERS’ Assembly where she talked about giving back and doing something for others, not just for yourself. She
told students that even though they may not know the meaning of giving to the community now, one day they will look back on the community service done that day, and realize why it was important for the community but was also really good for the soul.
Look who has been recognized as a Husky Humanitarian! Kacey has, no surprise here! Ms. Oveson states, "Work Ethic. Kasey always puts 110% into her school work, as well as her extra-curricular activities. When she is struggling, she will ask for help and push forward until she achieves the success she is looking for to show her best self!" Thanks Kasey for being such a strong role model for all of us!
Husky FBLA is hosting an Ugly Christmas Sweater competition Wednesday. I wonder who will wear the ugliest sweater!
Triple kudos to these ladies! Mr. Johnson recognizes Jacie, Chelsie and Rylee as Husky Humanitarians. Mr. Johnson states, "CITIZENSHIP. They took the initiative to move the student section signage in the gym, and adding additional décor to it." Thanks girls for noticing that something needed attention and making it better!
