Creativity was everywhere in Ms. Hardy’s art room!
Ms. Hardy and her 8th grade art students have been busy creating, with THREE different projects happening at the same time! 🖌️✂️
It’s always fun to see so many different ideas, styles, and projects coming to life in one classroom. Our Panthers were hard at work and having some fun along the way!
We love seeing creativity in action at EMS! 🐾🎨

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! 👇

Mrs. Foley’s kindergarten class has been learning what it means to be respectful, responsible learners at EES, and one important part of that is cooperation!
The kinders put their teamwork skills to the test by working together to build “cages” for their animals using only sticks and Play-Doh. 🐯🦁🐻
They did a great job working together, sharing ideas, and getting creative! Way to go, kinders! 💜🐾

We knew that rescheduling the traditional Homecoming Parade on a moment’s notice would not work for our students or community partners, and many students would have been unable to participate.
However, we still want to celebrate together! We are excited to pivot to a Panther Spirit Parade on October 2, before our final home football game. This parade will celebrate our fall activities and give our students, families, and community another opportunity to come together and show their Panther pride. Community businesses and organizations are welcome to join the parade. All floats are to line up at Ellsworth Middle School by 4:45 p.m. The parade will start promptly at 5:00 pm and will follow the recently published (updated) parade route.
