Students in Mrs. Johnson’s Food Service classes took part in the annual Grilled Cheese Challenge last week, and the creativity did not disappoint! 🧀🔥
Each group designed their own twist on a classic grilled cheese, and a panel of teacher and student judges along with special guest Jarod Traynor from Common Man tasted and scored every sandwich.
The winning grilled cheese from each class will be featured on the Common Man menu in January, so be sure to stop in and try a student-created masterpiece! 😋🐾

This week our middle school students took on a morning of state testing better known around here as “Show What You Know Day.” After working hard all morning, everyone got to relax and have some fun with school-wide Bingo, Dodgeball, classroom games, and even a staff vs. student basketball game.
It was the perfect way to wrap up a big day, and we’re so proud of our students for giving it their best. 🐾💜

On October 19, the Ellsworth Hearts & Minds group completed another successful shipment of school supplies and comfort items to Ukraine, this time to a school in Radomyshl', located in the region of Zhytomyr Oblast in north-central Ukraine, about 70 miles west of Kyiv. After months of dedicated fundraising, the Hearts & Minds students raised enough money to purchase the supplies and cover shipping costs. With help from Day of Service volunteers, supplies were packaged. With the help of Ryan, my dad, Tom Benson, and his wife, Valentyna—who is from Radomyshl—19 boxes were labeled and shipped, each one carrying the compassion, encouragement, and hope of an entire school community reaching across the world.
