Exira-EHK Spartan Youth Leadership Club students have been making the Exira Care Center residents' creative crafts most of the months this school year! The Grand Pals activities were led by Senior, Tyler Petersen. "Thank you goes out to Tyler for being a great role model for our Spartan Youth Leadership Club. Our students and Grand Pals enjoyed the monthly activities. We want the best wishes for Tyler's future after graduation," stated Mrs. Lisa Dreier, HS TAG Instructor.
Just a reminder: 3rd Grade Bike Rodeo is tomorrow, May 11th. The North parking lot will not be available for drop off or pick up. Bikes need to be at the elementary by 1:30. Thank you very much!

The Exira-EHK HS TAG service project will benefit both our students and staff in the upcoming school year. We would like to supply each teacher with a “Spartan Supply Crate.” This will include the essential supplies needed for their students’ school year such as Crayola markers, dry erase markers, crayons, glue sticks, pencils, scissors, erasers, facial tissues, and more. In recent years, teachers have had to use their own funds to support their students in need of more supplies. We are creating this project to benefit both the teachers with these additional supplies. Due to this year’s circumstances, we have come to find out that our students are in dire need of these supplies. Since the beginning of this school year, we have been working towards our goal of supplying students with items that they need. We are planning to have these Spartan Supply Crates ready by the start of the 2021 school year.
We would like to ask for your participation in donating funds to our TAG program to support us in purchasing these supplies for each teacher. Our program will make sure each donation gets used wisely and distributed to each teacher. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! Any businesses, clubs, or individuals who donate to our project will be recognized for their contribution. Please make checks payable for Spartan TAG and mail to Exira-EHK Schools, 4114 Madison St, Box 388, Elk Horn, Iowa 51531. We would like to collect all donations by April 30th, 2021. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lisa Dreier, high school TAG instructor at 712-764-4606 or ldreier@exira-ehk.k12.ia.us.
Thank you for your support,
Ashley Hansen and Macy Emgarten, HS TAG Students
