💜 Taking plenty of well-deserved naps
🐾 Causing a little chaos on her bed while Ms. Poulos is trying to teach 😄
💜 Cheering on and supporting the Ellsworth Baseball Team
🐾 Modeling her brand new bandana made by one of our talented sewing students

💜 Hands-on learning in action at EMS! 💜

Our 6th and 7th graders recently welcomed visitors from IBM Impact to explore the world of engineering. Students learned about different types of engineering and then put their skills to the test with a fun challenge—designing and building structures to see if they could withstand an “earthquake.” 🏗️🌎

It was awesome to see the creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving as students tested their designs. Some held strong, others… not so much but that’s all part of the learning process!

Thank you to IBM Impact for spending the day with our students and inspiring future engineers! 🖤🤍

💜 Panther Pride in action! 💜

Ellsworth High School junior Brock Fairchild recently turned his capstone project into something truly meaningful. Inspired by his younger sister Lily and the challenges she faces with food allergies, Brock wanted to make a difference for other students in similar situations.

He put together a collection of allergy-friendly snack options to help ensure more students have safe choices available at school. What a thoughtful way to use his project to support others and make our schools more inclusive.

Way to go, Brock! 👏
