Memorials & Special Projects

Last year, a group of students pioneered the planning and construction of an Agricultural Learning Center near the football practice field. This center will hold animals throughout the year and will expand to include beekeeping, raised garden beds, and other species. We are on track to have a grand opening for this project in Spring 2024. This space will be a great way for your student to learn in a hands-on fashion and develop important employability and agricultural skills. We are excited to utilize this space this year! A donation of $60,000 was given to the Agricultural Learning Center from the Robert Griffith Estate Trust.

The Egertsons had two great passions…agriculture and young people. They generously donated $25,000 to the ELC Foundation to be used to refurbish the Greenhouse at the ELC High School. Voc-Ag & FFA students have enjoyed the remodeled space very much. Both programs are flourishing at ELC.

This project started as a joint effort with the partnership of ELC P.A.T. and previous Demoney teacher Bethany Phillips to plan and fundraise for new playground equipment for the preschool, Transitional Kindergarten, and Kindergarten students at Demoney Elementary. Through various fundraising efforts and the generous donations through the Robert and Audrey Griffith trust, we were able to raise nearly $80,000 for the purchase and installation of new equipment that will hold 32-28 students as well as the installation of safe, rubber ground material. Installation should be complete by Fall 2022.
