Where we bring students, parents and teachers together to build a stronger school community!
Warrior PTO Welcome
E.L. Wright Parents are welcome to join the PTO. We are grateful many have decided to join: however, all are welcome. Our goal is to bring students, parents, teachers and community leaders together to ensure the students at E. L. Wright are ready for High School in 3 years! #32GetReady
Chick-fil-A Fundraiser
Goals for the 2016-2017 school year:
1.) School Store where students can buy items they need for class and to promote school spirit.
2.) Teacher Recognition - A way to recognize our teachers that work hard and ensure they have what they need for their students. With teacher shortages on the rise we believe if they are appreciated and have things available for them to use as they teach, they will stay here at ELWM.
3.) Canteen for Blue Ridge - We are researching the requirement and cost to put in a canteen on the athletic field for our outdoor events.

Favorite Music/Artist: I love all types of music. Is it bad I can't pick one specific one?
Favorite thing to do after work: I have a family, so most of my time is spent with them. Which I love because time is passing by fast with each of them. My favorite is when we are sitting at the dinner table and we discuss our day and quiz each other with fun questions. PS-we are a normal family and yes they also drive me nuts too! :-)
