We have just TWO spots remaining in our Pre-K program for the 2026-2027 school year! Children must be 4 years old by August 1 to enroll. Our Pre-K program focuses on building strong foundations through learning, play, relationships, and readiness for the years ahead. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact the school office.

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!

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
