Last January leaders from Elkin City Schools traveled to Rovaniemi, Finland to participate in the LIFE2022 conference with educators from around the world. Throughout the conference, the group participated in cultural immersion by networking, visiting local schools and learning more about what is most important to educators in Finland.
