A huge thank you to Annie Baker, mom of 6th grade choir student Grace, for joining us last week to teach our students the pronunciation for our Vietnamese piece for the upcoming Winter Concert on December 7th!

Both of our 6th grade choir classes had the opportunity to work with Annie, and we are so grateful that she took the time to share her knowledge and help our students learn and appreciate the Vietnamese language and culture.

Mrs. Woletz is especially excited and honored to celebrate Vietnamese culture through music in our first concert of the year!

We hope you’ll join us on December 7th to hear our students share what they’ve been working so hard on. We can’t wait to see you there!

🔥🌲 Learning Outside the Classroom! 🌲🔥

Our 5th graders recently enjoyed an awesome outdoor adventure with Red Wing ELC!

Students had several activities to choose from, including outdoor cookery, fishing at the Alma Float, rock climbing, outdoor photography, and canoeing.

During outdoor cookery, students learned how to safely gather wood and start a fire with supervision. Then came the tasty part! They cooked over an open campfire, making bannock (pancakes with cornmeal), ham and cheese pudgie pies, pizza quesadillas, and banana boats.

What a great opportunity for our students to get outside, try something new, learn some hands-on skills, and make memories with their classmates!

A big thank you to Red Wing ELC for providing such a fun and memorable experience for our 5th graders! 💜

Friend drama, group chats, and your child

Friendships can be one of the best parts of childhood — and one of the most painful. If you’ve watched your child navigate friend drama, social exclusion, or the pressures of group chats, you know how hard it can be to know when to step in and what to say.

Join Cartwheel, our virtual mental health partner, and licensed counselor, author, and Washington Post contributor Phyllis Fagell, LCPC, for a free live webinar:

Friend Drama, Group Chats, and Social Exclusion: What Parents Need to Know

Thursday, October 15, 7–8pm ET

Register Here: https://cartwheelcare.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_YCsayhvVS6GeX5yS0Lrf6A#/registration

You'll leave with a clearer picture of what children and teens need from the adults in their lives to navigate friendship challenges, build resilience, and maintain healthy relationships.

A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to the Hudson Heritage Quilters for their generous donation to the Ellsworth High School Family & Consumer Science program! They helped us to fill our sewing cabinet with a variety of cotton fabrics for our students to use to construct projects each semester.

Your kindness and generosity make a meaningful difference in our classroom by helping our students with opportunities to continue practicing, developing, and perfecting their sewing skills. Every donation helps us create hands-on learning experiences that build confidence, creativity, and lifelong skills.

We are so grateful for your support of our students, our program, and the art of sewing. Thank you for investing in the next generation of makers!

If anyone is looking to pair down their stash of 100% cotton fabrics, we will gladly take donations. If we cannot use them we will donate to others who we know can.

🧥🧤👕 Lost & Found Alert! 👟🎒

Conferences are coming up, which makes it the perfect time to take a peek at the Lost & Found while you’re in the buildings!

We’ve only been back in school for a little over a month, and somehow the Lost & Found piles are already growing... especially at EES! 😳😂

If your child is missing a sweatshirt, jacket, water bottle, lunch box, or something else, be sure to check the Lost & Found during conferences.

📦 Anything left after October 9 will be packed up and donated.

Come take a look and help some of these lonely items find their way back home! 💜

💜 Happy National Coaches Day! 💜

Today we celebrate the amazing coaches throughout the Ellsworth Community School District! We are so thankful for the time, energy, encouragement, and guidance they give our student-athletes both on and off the field, court, mat, track, course, and beyond.

Coaches do so much more than teach a sport. They help build confidence, teamwork, perseverance, and memories that can last a lifetime. Thank you to all of our Panther coaches for the difference you make!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Who is a coach who made a positive impact on you, and what is something you remember about them?

Give them a shout-out in the comments! 👇
