💻⚡ Happy National IT Professional Day! ⚡💻

Today we give a HUGE shoutout to Geoff and Laurie-the dynamic duo that keeps ECSD plugged in, powered up, and running without glitches! 🙌

From fixing bugs faster than a reboot to making sure our systems are always in sync, they are the real MVPs behind the screen.

Thank you for everything you do for our staff, students, and schools!!

🍂 Bethel’s Basement Blessings has set its fall dates! 🍂

🛍 The next shopping day is Tuesday, September 16th, from 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

They are currently looking for donations of gently used or new items, including:
🧴 Hygiene & beauty products
🏠 Household items
🛏 Blankets & sheets

Even if you have a partially used bottle of household, hygiene, or beauty items you didn’t care for, consider donating it-someone else would appreciate it rather than letting it sit around or tossing it out. 💜

We want to take a moment to thank our amazing sponsors for supporting the 8th Annual Back-to-School Supply Drive! Because of their generosity, we were able to fill 115 backpacks for Ellsworth students with financial need.

Each year, thanks to the kindness of our community, parents, and local businesses, we’re able to provide supplies to students who need a little extra support. This program wouldn’t be possible without you. 🙌

A special shoutout to our High School Leaders and Service Learning Coordinator for organizing this event each year-you help make a difference for so many students. 💛
