The Exira-EHK HS TAG service project will benefit both our students and staff in the upcoming school year. We would like to supply each teacher with a “Spartan Supply Crate.” This will include the essential supplies needed for their students’ school year such as Crayola markers, dry erase markers, crayons, glue sticks, pencils, scissors, erasers, facial tissues, and more. In recent years, teachers have had to use their own funds to support their students in need of more supplies. We are creating this project to benefit both the teachers with these additional supplies. Due to this year’s circumstances, we have come to find out that our students are in dire need of these supplies. Since the beginning of this school year, we have been working towards our goal of supplying students with items that they need. We are planning to have these Spartan Supply Crates ready by the start of the 2021 school year.
We would like to ask for your participation in donating funds to our TAG program to support us in purchasing these supplies for each teacher. Our program will make sure each donation gets used wisely and distributed to each teacher. Any amount will be greatly appreciated! Any businesses, clubs, or individuals who donate to our project will be recognized for their contribution. Please make checks payable for Spartan TAG and mail to Exira-EHK Schools, 4114 Madison St, Box 388, Elk Horn, Iowa 51531. We would like to collect all donations by April 30th, 2021. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lisa Dreier, high school TAG instructor at 712-764-4606 or ldreier@exira-ehk.k12.ia.us.
Thank you for your support,
Ashley Hansen and Macy Emgarten, HS TAG Students

HS TAG student, Katie Andersen makes all the residents of the Elk Horn Salem Homes a lucky clover for St Patrick's Day! Great job Spartans!!!
Due to the recent weather and the new embargo of gravel put in place by Shelby county, we will run no gravel routes until further notice. We will only run on hard surfaces only. We believe at this time, that Audubon county will be following the same model as Shelby county. Your Exira-EHK bus driver will be calling you within the next 24 to 36 hours with the details of your new pick up and drop off location and times. Please be aware that these routes will run until further notice.
