EAHS Alum Payton Jacobson has arrived in Paris and is getting fitted with all his Team USA gear!
Good luck, Payton! You have the entire Herd behind you!
With sadness, we share that Deb Patzold passed last weekend after a short illness. There are so many words to describe such a kind, caring, resilient, and fun-loving individual. Her positive impact on students and staff during her 23 years in the district is truly undeniable.
Our thoughts are with her family and friends during this time. A Celebration of Life for Deb will be held at the Waterfront Pub & Grill, 408 State Road 50, Delavan, WI 53115, on Wednesday, July 31, from 4 - 8 p.m. All are welcome.
Memorials may be made in Deb’s name to the Elkhorn Area School District Education Foundation Endowment Fund to provide learning opportunities and support for students, teachers, and staff within the Elkhorn School District.

This program is a playgroup consisting of five students with special needs and five typically developing students. It meets multiple times a week for two hours a day at Jackson Elementary School in Mrs. Kitzmiller’s classroom. During this program, play-based learning will expose students to literacy, gross and fine motor, and language development activities. This model allows for enrichment for all children who participate in the program. Research shows that these blended classrooms provide benefits for all children who participate.
To be eligible to attend: Children should be three years old by September 1, 2024, and toilet trained. Registration is limited to five students per session, and a lottery system will be utilized to determine placement. The lottery will be held on May 15, 2024, and families will be notified by May 20, 2024, if their child is selected to attend. Families of peer models will need to provide their own transportation to and from school.
Please contact Jill Kitzmiller at kitzji@elkhorn.k12.wi.us if you would like further information.
