Camp Invention 2023 returns June 5th-9th!

This year's program, Wonder, will give your young innovator an inspiring, action-packed summer adventure! All-new, hands-on challenges will spark their curiosity and build their confidence as they jump into limitless STEM fun with opportunities to imagine, plan, experiment and create. Read more about what your camper will do each day at camp:

PROBLEM SOLVING  
Campers explore physics, design engineering and art as they build their own mini skate park, create DIY riders, personalize their mini skateboards and try out challenging features like ramps, bowls, jumps and rails.
 
CREATIVITY  
To create an epic celebration, campers become event planners who engineer light-up party hats, use the science of color to create a bubble art banner and invent a Party Assistant to help bring their plans to life.
 
PERSISTENCE  
Campers transform their own robot into a one-of-a-kind animatronic stuffie, and then use inspiration from nature and the power of intellectual property to protect their creation from an idea-stealing Copy Cat.
 
ENTREPRENEURSHIP  
Ideas pop up as campers launch their own pop-up business, make smart financial decisions, and use entrepreneurship skills and creative strategies to attract customers with the ultimate pop-up event. 

Our students had so much fun celebrating Read Across America week!

Mrs. Mellett's class celebrated the 101 day of school with a fun dalmatian theme. 

Our second graders celebrated reaching over 100 days of school by dressing up like someone over the age of 100. They had a lot of fun with these outfits!

Our kindergarteners paraded through the office today to show off their "100's day" shirts.  

We are so thankful for all of our dedicated teachers & staff.  They always go above & beyond, including during dismissal.  Today's weather did not make that easy, but they continue to show up with positive attitudes & smiles.  Thank you!

Thank you for the pop can tab donations! All of the contributions go to the Ronald McDonald House in Columbus. We are so thankful for the support of our Elgin Community. 

Special shout out to Kolton Tidd & his family for this HUGE donation!

Our first graders had their own Macy's Thanksgiving Parade.  They made floats out of balloons & paraded around the hallways for all of our students to see. 

To celebrate World Kindness Day, first graders in Mrs. Smith's class gave each of the staff members an inspirational coloring page.

We are so thankful for our veterans. Thank you for your service.

Elgin Elementary students have been working on a "Thankful Chain" to show their gratitude.  Thank you to Mrs. Adams for setting this up!
