Education Appreciation List
This page was designed to recognize days, weeks, and months dedicated to raising awareness and recognizing the hard work of our school staff, students, families, and community.
To support these efforts, Elkin City Schools has created this page of school appreciation as a resource for educators to use in planning celebrations and acknowledgments. Keep checking back as links and other information and resources will be added
If you know of additional days, weeks, or months related to public education or our district that aren’t listed, please share the details with our district Public Information Officer, Amanda Hearl, at [email protected].
Together, we can be more intentional in honoring the outstanding individuals and programs that make Elkin City Schools exceptional!
