🌟 First Annual Grit-O-Rama Assembly at Elk Center Elementary! 🌟
Elk Center students are learning about Grit — and the message certainly seems to have landed with students! During the Grit-O-Rama event at the school, students showed off what they have learned through heartfelt skits, inspiring words from great leaders, and a school-wide chant that could’ve shaken the roof with determination! 💪🎤
🎶 A special shoutout to the Harmony Hounds Chorus for adding so much heart and soul with their powerful performances—reminding us all to keep going, even when it gets tough.
We were also incredibly honored to welcome two hometown heroes who truly embody grit:
🏅 Sophia Zheng, valedictorian of Herbert Hoover High School, encouraged our students to stay focused and never give up—no matter what life throws their way.
🤼 Conner Facemire, WV State Wrestling Champion, shared how grit, discipline, and hard work helped him succeed both on and off the mat.
Their stories encouraged their younger counter parts, and we know those messages will stick.
To top it all off, our students made personal pledges and added them to our Grit Pledge Wall—a colorful display of determination and unity in our main hallway. 💙📝
