Winter is heading our way! As you start digging out all the warm clothes, please remember that we would be more than happy to take things that are no longer needed, or no longer fit, off your hands. We are always looking for donations to fill our shelves to outfit students that forget to bring snow pants, coats, boots, shoes, hats, or gloves.
FOOTBALL TOMORROW:
FROM ELKTON-LAKE BENTON
FYI: Hwy 13/324 (which is highlighted Orange below, is having railroad work done right by Elkton)
Britton-Hecla---I recommend turning and coming to Elkton via Highway 14.
The blue X is what will be closed and not able to go through. If you still want to take the Elkton exit off the interstate, you will have to just take a couple of miles of gravel around the closed portion of the road. That is shown in orange on the map below.
Good Luck to our Oral Interp team today at the ECC meet in Wilmot! #gobigred #bebrave
