An unforgettable adventure awaits your child in Italy and Greece!

Dear Families,

We’re thrilled to share that we’re heading to Italy and Greece in Summer 2027, and we’d love for your student to join us!

This is an incredible opportunity for students to explore new places, experience different cultures, and gain lifelong skills like independence and confidence. I’ll be sharing all the details, including what we’ll see and do, hands-on learning activities, academic opportunities, trip costs, and how to secure a spot at our informational meeting.

Meeting details:
📅 Date: November 12
🕒 Time: 6:30 PM
📍 Location: Ovid-Elsie Auditorium
👉 RSVP here to join us: https://rsvp.eftours.com/55chdnh

We’ll also open enrollment during the meeting—spots are limited, and I would love to help you secure this experience for your child.

In the meantime, please visit EF’s website to get answers to common parent questions. EF Tours is our trusted travel partner, and they have 60 years of experience helping students explore the world safely and affordably.

I hope to see you there and look forward to sharing how this trip can be a powerful and unforgettable chapter in your child’s life!

Best,
Emma Harrington

Congratulations to Ovid-Elsie High School's Student of the Week, sophomore Sarah!

Sarah was nominated by Dr. Faziani saying, "Sarah has a great attitude in class. She is always prepared and willing to engage. Additionally, she's always either laughing or smiling. Additionally, her attentiveness to class content is a motivator for her peers." This recognition is a testament to your Marauder character, demonstrating what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and always striving to Be Your Best! Sarah enjoys barrel racing and spending time with her friends. Looking to the future, she plans to attend cosmetology school and eventually open her own salon.

Hello Marauder families —

An update: we’ve added to the document shared yesterday, which now includes all local food pantry resources—including the Elsie Area Food Pantry information—so everything is in one handy place.

You can view the full resource list here: https://aptg.co/78ZKkm

Please note: the Shiawassee County Food Pantry Resources page lists incorrect contact information for the Elsie Area Food Pantry. For the correct phone numbers, hours, and November calendar, please refer to the document linked above or the information we sent yesterday.

If you need help or have questions, don’t hesitate to contact me or your building counselor. We want to make it as easy as possible for families to get the support they need. 💙
