Eagles, join us in dressing up as we count down the last 12 days before our Winter Break!

On Friday, November 8th, Elrod enthusiastically welcomed 27 Veterans to our school as we took the time to celebrate our local veterans. It was truly an honor to recognize and appreciate their service to our country.

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Wells, our Social Studies Facilitator, and Mrs. Nesmith, our music teacher, for organizing such a beautiful ceremony. A big thanks also goes out to our PTA, Hospitality Committee, custodial staff, our students and our Elrod staff who all came together to make this a memorable event.

Mark your calendars and get ready to embark on a journey of discovery!
