We are excited to announce Jeff Lampe as the recipient of the March Community Member of the Month! Jeff has volunteered his time behind the scenes on several different organizations which help set Elmwood apart from other communities. Jeff has served as a youth baseball and basketball coach for several years, Elmwood Junior High Baseball coach, organized the Elmwood Biddy Ball program for several years, oversaw the Community Center for several years, active member of Kiwanis, a City Council Member, active member of St. Patrick's Church, and served as the Treasurer of the Elmwood Palace Theater. Jeff is also one of the founding members of the Elmwood All Outdoors Show, which ran for 10 years. Jeff also began the Weekly Post in Elmwood in 2013, providing high level coverage to highlight amazing accomplishments of our students, school, and community members! Most small rural towns do not have the amenities that Elmwood has to offer, and Jeff has volunteered his time to help maintain the tradition and excellence of Elmwood for many years, and documents history being made each day! Congratulations on being recognized as our March Community Member of the Month! #TheTrojanWay
Congratulations to Jessica Coulter, our JH/HS staff award recipient for March. She is the anchor of the cafeteria staff, the go-to person for answers, and is a problem solver when staff members are sick or a shipment doesn’t arrive. We admire her caringness and positive encouragement to others as she demonstrates the characteristics of #TheTrojanWay.
