Your Children
It's what the Elk Rapids Schools are all about. We are excited about the 2004-2005 school year and the many activities and learning experiences our students and staff will engage in! We invite you to be a part of our Elk Rapids Elks Family by volunteering to assist in one of our five schools and be a part of the Elk P.R.I.D.E. (Personal Responsibility In Developing Excellence) exhibited each and every day.
The team of parents, staff and community is an unbeatable combination for our children. Together we will all be able to say with conviction: “Elk Rapids Schools — A Great Place to Learn!", and also state with equal fervor: “Every day is a great day to be an Elk Rapids Elk!”
