Location is not only important when selling a house, it is also important when deciding where you want to live. Elmwood is ideally located between Lincoln and Omaha which provides more job opportunities than living in one city or the other.
The People
Elmwood has a population of over 600 people which includes not only those in the village but the surrounding farms as well. The townspeople are a mixture of people who have lived here forever with family roots that run deep and new people who are looking for the small town atmosphere.
The Schools
The Elmwood-Murdock schools offer a great sports program which routinely sends teams to the State competitions and recently won the State championship in boys basketball. Sports are very important to the community and the pride in the teams is evident in the turn out at the games.
The Infrastructure
Elmwood infrastructure also provides the cleanest water in the state. The streets of Elmwood are concrete and asphalt with city snow removal service that is quick and responsive. Home heating options available are natural gas and electric. For high tech services Elmwood has several internet options available including DSL, cable, and wireless.

Elmwood offers several businesses that are the most successful in the state and some are known nationwide. Elmwood has potential to support more businesses from factories, entertainment, or sales.

Bess Streeter Aldrich Museum
Bess Streeter Aldrich was one of Nebraska's most widely read and enjoyed authors. Her writing career spanned forty-some years, during which she published over 160 short stories and articles, nine novels, one novella, two books of short stories, and one omnibus. In her work, she emphasized family values and recorded accurately Midwest pioneering history.
Elmwood Volunteer Fire Department
The Elmwood Volunteer Fire Department was organized May 16, 1899 as a village fire department. The Fire Department has several old record books that date back to 1922. These records contain monthly business entries during the last eighty years; some of the records are barely legible. At most meetings people kept a roll call of firemen present at the Firemen's monthly meetings.

"A Special Day at the Rink"
About 75 disabled kids from southeast Nebraska came for a day of fun at the rink. They skated, scootered, and ran around the rink. Even the blind kids skated! Heather McKinney, teacher at Nebraska City, and our cousin, organized the event for the second year. Kids come from Auburn, Nebraska City, Humboldt, and Syracuse to have some fun. Kids from Elmwood Murdock Junior and Senior High school volunteered to help out. Noah Tays, Justin Furgerson, Laura Fortney, Jessie Spaulding, Stacy Ronhovde, Paige Tuttle, Bridget Sukup, Joe Anderson, Garyn Folden, and I all had a great time with the kids.Paige even got asked out on a date!
Romeo got groomed!
My mutt was getting pretty scroungy so mom took him to Bath and Splash in Ashland along wtih our other dog to have a spa day. He was feeling pretty handsome when it was over. And he smelled a whole lot better, too.

CHANGES IN SCHOOL CALENDAR
Just a reminder that we have made the following changes in the school calendar so that we may make up snow days and prepare for the possibility of using more snow days during the rest of the school year.
Beginning January 25, 2010 the elementary school will begin 5 minutes earlier (8:15 a.m.) and extend 10 minutes longer (3:30 p.m.).
We will not be having early dismissal on January 18, February 15, and April 14, 2010. These will be full school days.
We will not be taking the Spring Break days on March 5, and March 12, 2010. We will have school on these days.
STUDENT CONDUCT AT BASKETBALL GAMES
Elementary students should come to games with a parent or other responsible adult and not just be dropped off at the school. Children should be under the supervision of a parent or other responsible adult during the basketball games. Students and children should not be running and playing in the halls during the games. Thank you for your cooperation.
