🌺🌴🏈 Aloha, Eleva-Strum! Last Friday's home football game against Independence-Gilmanton was like a tropical paradise! Our students showed up in their best Hawaiian attire, and let's just say, they brought the island vibes to the bleachers! With a stunning 36-6 victory, our Cardinals showed showed off their football skills and left no doubt that they are a force to be reckoned with! Mahalo, team! 🤙🔥 What a great night to be #OneElevaStrum!

After day one of rules and expectations in Physical Education the class started with an elementary favorite, Monarch Tag! 😀
Two taggers start with the ball and have to try and tag by throwing it and hitting someone. They can’t move when they have the ball so they need to work together to strategize! Once someone is hit, they become a tagger and we go until everyone is caught.
👏Lots of teamwork and communication in this one - and sweaty kids!

The musical cast for SpongeBob the Musical has been working hard at their summer intensive this week! They began work on Sunday and finished up on Tuesday. They worked on songs, and the script, and also learned some of the dances.
Looking forward to getting back on stage even more when school starts! Thank you to Miss Behrens, Jeannette, and Zoe Gullicksrud for helping to get the ball rolling.

📚☀️Our summer reading program began last week. The theme this year is kindness!
Our tweens and teens are already hooked on the novel Wishtree✨🌳, exploring the power of empathy and compassion. They've been busy creating tie blankets for the Ronald McDonald House, tie-dying shirts, and crafting a beautiful Kindness Quilt!

Cardinal Families, we are getting closer to the beginning of our fall sports seasons, and that means it's time for the Activities Code Meeting. If you are the parent of a student in 6th-12th grade who will be participating in a sport or performance activity (musical, etc.), please join us Monday, July 31st, at 6:00 pm in the High School Auditorium.
We will go through the Code, collect the paperwork, and answer any questions you may have. Please remember your child has to have their paperwork turned in, including their physical or alternate year form (a link has been provided below), before they can practice.
If you are unable to attend on Monday, please reach out to Mikayla Everson at eversonk@esschools.k12.wi.us to get the necessary information. We plan to hold another meeting later in the school year for winter or spring sports athletes who cannot attend on the 31st. Have a great day, and we will see you next Monday!

Good evening Eleva-Strum families. This is a reminder that fall sports are just around the corner, which means physicals must be completed, and our IN-PERSON code meeting will be held at 6:00 pm on July 31st in the auditorium. We are looking forward to seeing you all there.

Read and Roll started with a great first day! 🌟
🦋The morning was spent visiting the butterfly house and exploring nature nooks to create music and run obstacle courses at Beaver Creek Reserve.
