Date Change! Due to sickness I am moving Summer Garden Club to NEXT Tuesday the 14th. There will NOT be Garden Club tonight. See you next Tuesday!
We were excited to host Judith Soltys from Cornerstones this morning for our staff. Our discussion was rich, thoughtful, and filled with meaningful conversation about what it takes to create classrooms where every student feels safe, valued, and ready to learn.
As we reflected together, we grounded our work in our mission:
“The East Lynne Learning Community will establish a safe learning environment where students, held to high expectations, excel and become lifelong learners.”
Thank you, Judith, for investing in our staff and helping us continue to strengthen the culture of our learning community. We are excited to put today’s conversations into practice as we continue building a place where every student can belong, grow, and excel!
Summer Garden Club tonight at 7! See you in the back by the school garden. Bring water!

We have just TWO spots remaining in our Pre-K program for the 2026-2027 school year!

Thanks to the support of our community through Project K.I.D.S. (Keep Improving for District Sustainability), we are excited to share that we are entering the final stage of our HVAC project.
Through bond funds, we have been able to update all of our HVAC units and provide the much-needed maintenance and repairs to our geothermal system—an important investment in the long-term sustainability and efficiency of our district.
We are grateful for our partnership with Promechanical and for the continued support of our East Lynne community in helping us care for our facilities and create comfortable learning environments for students and staff.
Small school. Big improvements. Bigger impact. 🐾
One of our favorite traditions is watching our 8th grade graduates shoot off their confetti poppers together—a fun moment that captures the excitement, joy, and energy of the night.
With confetti flying and futures ahead of them, they celebrated the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
We are proud of who they are, who they are becoming, and the mark they will leave on the world around them.
The next chapter is waiting—and we can’t wait to see where life takes them.
And somewhere between the first day
and this final one…so much happened.
Growth happened.
Not always loud.
Not always easy.
Sometimes it looked like courage.
Sometimes it looked like simply showing up
So, whether you are
Moving up or
Moving on...
We are thankful that —YOU —
were a part of this year!
This coming Wednesday is our first Summer Garden Club! We will be harvesting beets, turnips, and strawberries! Lots of weeds to pull, chickens to feed, and eggs to collect! Come at 7:00 around back by the gardens! See you there!
Last week the East Lynne 40 School District announced the retirement of Mrs. Donna Wilson. Donna has served our learning community for 20 years. She has made a profound impact on so many lives. We wish her well on her retirement and want to thank her for all of the many lives she has touched.
Our school garden is growing more than vegetables—it’s growing responsibility, teamwork, learning, and pride.
So much hard work and dedication has gone into this space. And now, seeing some of that produce make its way into our cafeteria salad bar is such a rewarding reminder of what can happen when our learning community works together toward something meaningful.
We are not just growing a garden…
We are growing greatness
Tomorrow (5/15) is our last day of school!
We will dismiss early at 12:00 PM and wrap up another great year at East Lynne 40!
Our Schoolwide Academic & Character Awards Assembly will begin at 10:00 AM. We will celebrate the hard work, growth, and accomplishments of our students.
Thank you to our students, staff, and families for a wonderful school year. Let’s finish strong, Cougars! 🐾
