❄️🎅 Elon Elementary's fourth graders brightened the day at Twin Lakes Community, bringing holiday cheer through song and dance! These talented students performed a special program, organized by music teacher Ms. Giraldo, featuring winter favorites and holiday classics, complete with spoken performances that showcased their hard work and enthusiasm. The residents were treated to an incredible show and some were clapping and singing along! Keep an eye out for video highlights coming soon! 🎶 ✨
🇺🇸🎉Today first grade enjoyed an informative talk by our fellow Veterans of the community! Students learned all about the USA flag. They also had the opportunity to say the Pledge of Allegiance! Students proudly waved their flags🇺🇸.
We are proud of our flag🇺🇸!

It was such a FUN DAY! 🥰💛✨THANK YOU!!!!!
Welcome back! Did you watch the Macy's Thanksgiving parade on TV and spot Tristan from Eastern Alamance High School playing trumpet? 👀 Many schools had their own parades prior to the break, including Elon Elementary! Each class brought special themes to life in their pre-break parade - from literary connections to Global Goals. Art teacher Ms. Smith worked with every student to create unique pieces, while Media Specialist Ms. Hopper created the script and program, narrated by Principal Hurdle! Special guests included Dash robots, piloted by Robotics Club members! Families lined the campus walkways to watch their proud Lil' Phoenix march. 🦃
🌍 Hallo! Our Elon Elementary Lil' Phoenix received a special visit from Leni Henne, a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Program (CBYX) student from Mering, Germany. Currently a junior at Western Alamance High School, Leni shared fascinating insights about German culture, teaching our students common phrases like "Hallo" (Hello) and "Danke" (Thank you). Before saying "Auf Wiedersehen" (Goodbye), she treated students to delicious homemade cookies that gave them a sweet taste of home! 🇩🇪🇺🇸

🌎On Friday, November 1, Elon Elementary was proud to kick off Native
American Heritage Month by hosting three ambassadors from the Lumbee
Tribe of North Carolina: Little Miss Lumbee Rose Odom, Junior Miss
Lumbee Vedah Dial, and Teen Miss Lumbee Malaya Florita. The
ambassadors shared their cultural history with us by singing, telling stories
and promoting their heritage. The Lumbee, located in the eastern part of
North Carolina, are the largest Native American tribe east of the Mississippi
River and take their name from the Lumber River. The girls will be
traveling around North and South Carolina this month speaking to schools
about their pride in their culture. They certainly helped us fulfill our Global
mission of feeling connected to the world!🌎
