💜🐾 Panther Pride Staff Shout Out 🐾💜

Tonight’s Panther Pride Staff Shout Out goes to Bella, who was nominated by Jenny.

Jenny shared how hard Bella has been working as she prepares for the musical. Her dedication, patience, and care for the students truly show, and the end result is always something special.

Bella does an amazing job working with kids and helping them shine, both on stage and behind the scenes. Her commitment and passion make a big difference for our students and for our performing arts program.

Thank you, Bella, for all the time and energy you put into making the musical such a success. We appreciate you! 💜🐾

💜🐾 Panther Pride Staff Shout Out 🐾💜

Today’s Panther Pride Staff Shout Out goes to Alyssa Nelson, our amazing Elementary Librarian! Alyssa was nominated by Lisa, who shared a moment that perfectly captures Alyssa’s thoughtfulness and dedication.

Lisa wrote that while she was at the public library requesting immigration chapter books for a grade-level book study, Alyssa happened to walk in and asked what she was working on. When Lisa explained she was requesting additional copies, Alyssa held up three bags of books and said, “These ones?”

Lisa was surprised and asked which teammate had asked Alyssa to check them out. Alyssa shared that she had noticed the books sitting on the counter in the neighborhood, remembered requesting them for the team last year, and figured they would be needed again so she took care of it without even being asked.

That kind of foresight, support, and care makes a huge difference. Alyssa consistently goes above and beyond to support student learning and to make teachers’ jobs just a little easier.

Kudos to you, Alyssa, and thank you for all you do for our students and staff. You are truly appreciated! 💜🐾

💜🐾 Panther Pride Staff Shout Out 🐾💜
We’re excited to kick off our new Panther Pride Staff Shout Outs series by recognizing someone who truly makes a difference behind the scenes.

Today's shout out goes to Anne Pechacek, who was nominated by Alyssa and Beth.

Alyssa shared how much she appreciates Anne’s work across multiple initiatives and service-learning experiences. Anne brings a wide range of skills to everything she does and approaches her work with a collaborative mindset and genuine care. Alyssa also highlighted Anne’s role in helping implement the Ellsworth Community School District Hall of Fame, an amazing way to recognize individuals who have made a lasting impact on our schools and community. ​ Anne’s work often happens quietly, but it truly deserves to be shared and celebrated.

Beth nominated Anne for the incredible attention to detail she brings to planning international student trips. Organizing travel like this is no small task, and Anne works hard to ensure every trip is educational, meaningful, and memorable. Thanks to her dedication, Ellsworth students have opportunities that many schools of similar size simply don’t offer experiences that truly are once (or twice) in a lifetime.

Anne’s commitment, teamwork, and care make a lasting impact on our district and our students. We are so thankful for everything she does.


Thank you, Anne, for all you do for Ellsworth! 💜🐾

🔥 We’re kicking off CTE Month with a big win!

Our Community Ed Class: Intro to Welding was a huge hit. Nearly 30 community members filled the new CTE Center at Ellsworth High School for a night of hands on learning and a whole lot of sparks flying.

We loved seeing grandparents welding with grandkids, parents welding with kids, and even husbands welding with wives. It was a great example of how learning can bring people of all ages together.

The new welding bays from the recent CTE remodel really came in handy and gave everyone plenty of space to work safely and comfortably. These updated spaces are already making a big difference for both students and the community.

With such a great turnout, we’re hoping to offer more open welding times in the near future. Thank you to everyone who came out and made the night such a success. It was a fun way to kick off CTE Month. 💜🐾

🦅 What an amazing experience for our students!

We were excited to welcome Steve Kaufer back again this year to share his falconry expertise with Mrs. Klecker’s Biology classes. Steve and his daughter Bethany, now an 11th grader, brought in two incredible birds and a whole lot of knowledge and passion.

Steve talked with students about the history of falconry, how he first became interested, the unique skills and adaptations of different birds of prey, and how important these birds are to keeping ecosystems in balance. He also shared how falconry has become something special he gets to do with his family.

Students had the chance to meet Merida, a Red Tailed Hawk along with a Merlin, and learn how their different traits help them survive in the wild. Some students even got to hold the birds, which made the experience even more memorable. We also had students from Ms. Sara White’s Room join in on the fun.

A big thank you to Steve and Bethany for another fantastic visit. If you want to see more of their falconry adventures, you can follow Steve on Instagram at @sun_flower_steve.

🦅 What an amazing experience for our students! We were excited to welcome Steve Kaufer back again this year to share his falconry expertise with Mrs. Klecker’s Biology classes. Steve and his daughter Bethany, now an 11th grader, brought in two incredible birds and a whole lot of knowledge and passion. Steve talked with students about the history of falconry, how he first became interested, the unique skills and adaptations of different birds of prey, and how important these birds are to keeping ecosystems in balance. He also shared how falconry has become something special he gets to do with his family. Students had the chance to meet Merida, a Red Tailed Hawk and Bethany’s bird, along with a Merlin, and learn how their different traits help them survive in the wild. Some students even got to hold the birds, which made the experience even more memorable. We also had students from Ms. Sara White’s Room 220 join in on the fun.
