The Elk Call

It’s Homecoming Week at Evant ISD! There is just something about homecoming week in a small town that is so exciting! It is a time for our community to come together to show that Elk Pride, reunite with old friends, and relive cherished memories in a wonderfully unique small-town fashion. Homecoming is always a time to rekindle those old friendships and reminisce about school days gone by. It is a time for Elk Alumni to share stores and updates on all that has happened in each other’s lives over the years. It is time to be present with each other and honor our Evant Elk legacy!

Craddick has called a work day for Saturday, starting at 8 a.m. on Railroad Street behind the Old IOOF, Graves-Gentry and Old Hamilton cemeteries.
