First Day Fun!!! Part 1
It was AWESOME having students back in the building for the first day! Enjoy some pictures from today & last night’s Open House. #FarmerFun #Enjoy





Hello, Farmers! We had an EXCELLENT turnout at our Open House last night. If you were unable to get your car tag number for student car rider pick-up, please feel free to contact the elementary office (245-1000 ext. 1) to get your student's car tag pick-up number. In addition, all students who did not receive a car tag at open house will have one sent home this week.
If you have your car tag number already, please display it prominently in your windshield. This will help speed up the car rider pick up.
We appreciate everyone's patience with this process, especially on the first day of school! Thanks, Farmers!!!


Teachers are in the building & ready to see students & families tonight for OPEN HOUSE! Here are some pictures of our teachers in action, ready to welcome our students with open arms & a year full of FUN!

🥫 K-1 Tours County Market 🥩
#ELB22 Kindergarten & 1st graders took a guided tour of a local business, County Market. They learned about the different departments (Meat, Pharmacy etc.), saw where items are stored behind the scenes, & witnessed the cardboard box compactor in action. Students even left with some fun treats! Overall, it was a blast!
