We are thrilled that one of our Foreign Exchange students from Belgium, who attended Elida in 1977-78, has returned to Elida this week to visit his host family and friends, and to attend homecoming and the Reunion of the Class of 1978! Welcome back, Geert! Watch his interview from the school facebook page to hear more about his fond memories of Elida!

Todd Elwer, Head of Maintenance at Elida was in a serious automobile accident on Saturday night.  The cheerleaders will be collecting monetary donations during half time at this Friday's homecoming game that will be given to his wife to help with transportation to Columbus as they have 4 young children at home and to help with hotel accommodations and meals. There will be buckets at the concession windows as well.  Please keep Todd and his entire family in your prayers.

Build the Habit of Good Attendance Early! Starting as early as kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. See the attached document with information on ways to improve elementary school attendance and what you can do at home.Succeed with Good Attendance
