Registration is now OPEN for the Mini Panther Pom Squad Fall 2026 season! 💜🤍

Students recently completed beautiful art projects inspired by the intricate silver jewelry and designs of the North African Amazigh people. Through this Mediterranean Folk Art lesson, students explored another culture while creating their own unique masterpieces using bold patterns, shapes, and metallic details.
Take a look at these amazing finished projects. Great job, everyone! 👏🌍🖌️




The 4th and 5th graders in Ms. Fish and Mrs. Hershfield's summer school reading class recently finished The Lemonade War. To celebrate, they held a Lemonade War of their own!
Their classmates in summer school math stopped by to purchase lemonade, giving them a chance to practice their money and counting skills while enjoying a refreshing treat.
What a fun way to connect reading and math through a hands-on learning experience. Great job, everyone! 💜💛

A huge thank you to Sticky Sweet employees and EHS students Sophia Place, Ava Acker, EJ Langer, and Kensie Matzek for opening the shop and serving our classes. We also want to extend a special thank you to owner Ann Huppert for welcoming us and making this fun experience possible.
What a sweet way to celebrate the end of an era! 🎉




Each school day, Lisa was behind the wheel safely transporting our students on her morning and afternoon bus routes, along with multiple bus and van routes throughout the day. Her commitment, reliability, and dedication help keep our district running smoothly and ensure our students get where they need to be safely.
Thank you, Lisa, for your outstanding dedication to the students, families, and staff of the Ellsworth Community School District. We appreciate all that you do! 💜🐾

Pictures include planting native seeds and learning about native plants and how they help the eco system. Learning about pollinators, raising catapillars to butterflies and visiting a wild prairie where we gathered with Prescott, River Falls and Have a Heart to plant what we grew!








A special thank you to the EES Parents Club, the Ellsworth School Foundation, and the amazing chaperones & staff in creating lasting memories for our students! 💜






Our LCCE students put many of the skills they’ve learned throughout the year into action with a special final project: the $5 Lunch Challenge!
Students began by brainstorming a meal that was reasonably healthy, budget-friendly, and within their own cooking abilities. They then took a trip to Nilssen’s, where each student shopped for their ingredients, stayed within budget, and paid for their purchases independently.
Today, they brought their plans to life by preparing and cooking their lunches. It was a wonderful opportunity to practice meal planning, budgeting, shopping, cooking, and decision-making skills—all while having fun!
Some of the meals included turkey sandwiches, pizza with a side of grape tomatoes, and scrambled eggs with toast. Everyone did a fantastic job, and the students were proud to enjoy the meals they planned and prepared themselves!

Mrs. Paul's dedication, passion, and commitment to her students make a lasting impact each and every day. Her ability to inspire young learners, build meaningful relationships, and create a positive classroom environment embodies the very best of education.
This special recognition is made possible through the generosity of Vino in the Valley and the Ellsworth Community School District Foundation.
Please join us in congratulating Mrs. Paul on this well-deserved honor! 💜🐾

For the past couple of weeks, Ms. Matter's 4K students have been busy growing their very own "grass heads." After carefully watering and watching them grow, the grass was finally long enough for a very important job... haircuts!
The students had so much fun giving their grassy friends fresh new styles while learning about how plants grow. From buzz cuts to wild hairstyles, creativity was definitely on display in the classroom!
Great job, 4K gardeners!






As we head into summer break, we want to make sure our ECSD families know about local food resources that are available throughout Pierce County should you need them.
The Pierce County Community Food Resource Directory includes information about:
🥫 Local food pantries
🍽️ Free community meals
👶 WIC services for families with young children
🍎 FoodShare and other nutrition assistance programs
No family should have to worry about where their next meal will come from. Please take a few minutes to review the attached resource guide and keep it handy throughout the summer.
If you have questions about resources available to your family, please don't hesitate to reach out to your school's office for assistance.
We hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and enjoyable summer! 💜

🍔☀️ Mrs. Johnson’s Foods 2 class wrapped up their breads unit with some delicious homemade hamburger buns!
To celebrate all their hard work, students took advantage of the beautiful weather and headed outside to grill burgers to enjoy on their freshly made buns. What a fun (and tasty!) way to finish the unit while putting their skills to work.
Great job, Foods 2 students! 💜🐾 #PantherPride


Students were challenged to bring in three items to describe in Spanish while their classmates practiced their speaking skills by asking at least three questions in Spanish about each item. It was a great way to build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and make learning interactive and fun!
The students did a wonderful job, and we wanted to share a few pictures from their presentations.
Bonus cuteness alert: 🐹 Carly Girdeen even brought in her guinea pig, Moose, to be part of the fun!
Great job, Spanish 4 students! 💜🐾



It’s time to mark your calendars for our upcoming Athletic Code Meetings for the 2026-27 school year!

As they prepare for their next steps beyond high school, each student was also gifted an item of their choice to help support their future career pathway. 💼✨
A special thank you to our high school mentors who supported, guided, and encouraged these students throughout their journey. Your mentorship played an important role in their success, and we are so grateful for the impact you’ve made.
We are incredibly proud of all of our YA completers, including those who were unable to attend the ceremony, and we can’t wait to see where their future career paths take them next.
💜 Congratulations to our EHS YA students! Once a Panther, always a Panther! 🐾
