📚 Yearbook Hunt: Help Us Find 1964! 📚

We need your help, Elsberry Community! We are SO close to completing our historical collection of Elsberry High School Yearbooks! 🤩

We are currently missing just ONE yearbook: the 1964 edition.

We would love to display a copy of the 1964 yearbook in the High School office alongside all the others, but we haven't been able to locate one yet.

Do you, a relative, or a friend have a copy of the 1964 Elsberry High School Yearbook (or know where we might find one) that you would be willing to donate?

If you have a lead, please contact the Elsberry High School Office during business hours!

Let's complete the collection together! Go Indians! 🧡🖤

🦃 Help Us "Sponsor a Bag" for a Turkey Dinner! 🥫
School Pub is launching a big fundraiser to bring a full turkey dinner to families in need this holiday season! We're aiming to sponsor 120 Turkey Dinners in a Bag for our Buddy Bag program families and the local food pantry.

Here's how you can help:

Sponsor a Bag for $10.

The cost of food donation for each bag is approximately $7.

$3 from every sponsorship goes directly to School Pub to help us alleviate our inherited debt.

That's right—you get to provide a complete meal (like the one pictured in the flyer!) and support our students at the same time!

We need 120 sponsors to hit our goal. Sponsor one bag, or sponsor as many as you'd like!

How to Sponsor:
We accept Cash and Checks.

Contact Carolyn Harman at charman@elsberry.k12.mo.us or call 573-898-5554 to arrange your sponsorship!
