Today's FFA District leadership contest was a great experience for Kimball FFA members. Julia Winstrom placed 4 in Job Interview, Landon Norberg and Carlee Murdoch placed 3rd in Ag Demo, and the Conduct of Chapter Meeting team placed 2nd (Aubrey Culek, Cody Brinkman, Jade O'Rourke, Dakota Vrbas, Mallory Hottell, Kambree Hottell, Trenton Hottell, and Nolan Cook) and earned a place at the state contest in April. Sprinkle in some red, white, and blue ribbons from other events, and we have a great public speaking experience for our members.
ELITE Turkey sandwiches from the kindergarten and 1st graders!

Another FUN night at ELITE! The kindergarten and 1st grade group learned about pumpkin patches and made towers with building blocks. The older group had a coloring contest using computers and cameras for their project from 4h extension! What a great night.
We have had an amazing few weeks at ELITE! The younger group has been working their way through the alphabet and learning all about animals from different environments! The 2nd and 3rd graders have had a great time with their book club and being able to create during their crafting club. The 4th - 6th graders have had an amazing year so far, they have been able to participate in Club Next at the Library and they have greatly enjoyed Dodgeball Mondays! , The 4h extension office joins us on Tuesdays to work with the 2nd - 6th graders for various projects where they learn how to identify a problem, develop a solution and when possible create that solution in a 3D design software and then put it in a format that can be printed. The two older groups have also loved Wednesday’s cooking club where they have made all sorts of goodies including pizza, muffins, cookies, and a delicious hot chocolate dip. ELITE would like to thank everyone who supports our program, it has been a great year!
