Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton Community School District

On Tuesday Preschool-3rd graders were invited to the Elk Horn library for some Halloween fun! A big thanks to the library workers and volunteers!

We are here for our students and families. If we cannot help, we will do our best to find someone who can.

Last Friday 3-5 put in pride tickets to the drawings and we also had our end of quarter bonus drawings!

Reminder we are supporting Red Ribbon week at the elementary this week! Tomorrow is Wellness Wednesday. Stay healthy and drug free! Wear Work Out Clothes!

The Elementary staff celebrated Mr. Weisenborn's big birthday (tomorrow) with a black out and his school badges through the years! Happy Birthday Terry!!!

When our head counselor Mrs. Hansen loses her voice, we do independent reading at Camp Read-a-lot!! 🏕 S'more library fun for all 😊

For the 25-26 school year, we updated our student handbook to match our graduation honor cords in regards to Honor Roll.

Please see the attached graphics on 1st Quarter Honor Roll at the High School level.

Middle School Honor Roll will look different this year due to transitioning to Standards Based Grading.

Amp Up the Arts!

Help Us Bring Clear Sound to Our School Stage!

We are raising $2,000 to upgrade our sound system and give our students the tools they need to shine on stage. Every contribution ensures that audiences hear every word and every performance comes to life.


How to give:
Checks may be made payable to Spartan Booster Club with “Amp Up the Arts” in the memo line.
Donations may be dropped off at EEHK High School or mailed to:
4114 Madison St.
Elk Horn, IA 51531

Throughout the quarter, students in the MS/HS carry a Spartan stamp card. Students receive stamps for positive behavior. Once a card is filled out (50 stamps), they turn it into the office. At the end of each quarter, I draw one winner for every 10 cards turned in. We had 118 cards turned into the office (that's 5900 stamps!!). Students received $8 to our Booster Concession Stand (Thank You Booster Club) or a tumbler that they can engrave!

Congrats to our 1st Quarter Winners!

Wednesdays are for BINGO at the Exira Care Center and this week Mrs. Petersen's 5th graders visited and played with the residents! Thanks to the Care Center Staff for excellent hospitality :)

10/17 Friday Celebration brought the first Purposefull People Hall of Fame Inductees (Evelyn Petersen not pictured) in the area of respect. We also had drawings for K-2 aged students.

Last Friday (10/17) the elementary welcomed Christina back for another fun demostration. This month she talked about bats - specifically bats found in Iowa.
