Elmwood-Murdock High School junior Harrison Koehn was selected to participate in the FCCLA program A Day In Your Future. On February 9, he attended a job shadow at Clark & Enerson architectural design firm in Lincoln. Harrison met with three architects and two student interns to see what they do at the firm and ask them questions. He learned about the day-to-day job of an architect and got to see some of their best work. Harrison has the opportunity to ask what he could do now to better prepare me to enter a college architecture program.

NEWSLETTER SUBMISSIONS

Did you know that the initial concept of this online town newsletter more than 20 years ago was supposed to be based

around READER SUBMISSIONS!

Yup, that's right. Back then it was harder to send in news. NOW, you can just email news and photos to editor@elmwoodnebraska.com It's that simple.

Remember not everyone has Facebook. Really they don't. ...AND Facebook doesn't show all the content from community groups.

By subscribing on your phone you will receive a TEXT every Wednesday and an easy-to-access link.

So make sure to submit your news to editor@elmwoodnebraska.com for added exposure for your event or activity.

Many rely on the weekly Wednesday text message that links directly to the website.

Since our Elmwood website is updated on a weekly basis GOOGLE and visited by 100s of people per week, search engines rank this site number ONE on Google. Normally Wikipedia, map-quest, or city-data comes up first.
