Welcome back to Elm for another great year of social studies.

Over the course of this school year we will be studying 20th Century U.S. history, the U.S. and Illinois constitutions, geography, and current events.

There is also an interesting, but not necessarily very accurate, Political Party Predictor (use at your own risk) at Channel One News.
