A FANTASTIC SURPRISE FROM MEG! 🧡🖤

What a wonderful way to start a SEAPCO Board meeting! I was greeted by one of our SEAPCO RISE students, Meg, who had a special surprise waiting for me!

Meg designed her very own game for me to play, complete with a fantastic surprise and prize! 🎉🏆

SEAPCO's RISE program, located in Bartonville, provides valuable educational experiences and individualized support to help students develop important life, social, and independence skills.

It is moments like these that remind us why we do what we do in education!

Thank you, Meg, for your creativity, kindness, and for being the highlight of my day! You certainly made me smile! 😊

Thank you to Mr. Coulter and Mr. Funk for teaching 7-3 about key battles of the American Revolutionary War! Great job! #TheTrojanWay

🧡🖤 Elmwood CUSD #322 – November Community Members of the Month! 🧡🖤

This November, Elmwood CUSD #322 is proud to recognize the incredible volunteers at New 2 U as our Community Members of the Month!

New 2 U is a local resale store operated entirely by dedicated volunteers and managed through the collaborative efforts of Elmwood-area churches and the local ministerial group. These individuals selflessly give their time and energy to support others and make our community a better place. New 2 U is celebrating a 10 year anniversary!

What makes New 2 U so special is that all proceeds go directly back into our community! Their generosity includes $5,000 in scholarships for graduating seniors, financial contributions to our local schools, and assistance to families in need. They also provide free items to individuals and families who need a helping hand when there is an immediate crisis, such as a house fire.

The volunteers of New 2 U demonstrate what makes Elmwood such a wonderful community. Their compassion, generosity, and commitment to serving others positively impact countless individuals and families.

Please join us in congratulating and thanking the volunteers of New 2 U, our November 2026 Community Members of the Month! 👏🧡🖤

The 8th Grade Science classes have been invaded by the BLOOPS! Bloops are adorable alien creatures that help students study genetics. By selecting one trait from each Bloop "parent", students must interpret which traits would physically appear in the phenotype of the Bloop offspring. Just like our students, the Bloops are all different due to genetic variation and unique in their own way!

In todays class, Mr Grant gave the 7th graders a challenge, they had to balance ten nails on a nail sticking out of a wooden block. It was a challenge and unfortunately they were not able to figure until they were shown how to do it. They also played with fire. Next class we will tackle safety! #elmwood322 #thetrojanway #industrialarts
