2008 Awards Night
Tuesday, May 6th
Launch the media gallery 1 playerTuesday night was the annual Elgin Public Academic and Athletic Awards Banquet. The evening began with a testy thunderstorm and Mr. Fisher telling us where the storm shelters were located in the building. Luckily we didn't need them and the evening continued with a delicious pot luck dinner. Following the meal the various teachers, sponsors, coaches and community members presented the awards for the year.
The evening also saw the debut of the new sound system in the gym. It works great, especially if there are fresh batteries in the microphone.
