A big thank you to this amazing group of Ellsworth High School students who spent part of their spring break volunteering their time for service hours! 💜🖤

They took on a big project together and did an incredible job. Thanks to their hard work, our flex room has undergone a huge transformation!

We truly appreciate the time and effort from:
Drezden M., Grace H., Emma E., Wyatt K., Bradley B., Rose S., Bo B., Savanna S.
And a special shout out to Katelyn H. who has already completed her required service hours but still chose to volunteer both days and worked on the project from start to finish. That kind of dedication says a lot. 👏

Thank you all for giving your time to help improve our school. Panther Pride! 🐾💜🖤

💜🐾 Panther Pride Staff Shout Out 🐾💜

Today’s Panther Pride Staff Shout Out goes to Jessica Sallander, who was nominated by Pia and a grateful parent.

Pia shared a shout-out to our amazing 6th Grade Team Lead, noting how Jessica keeps the team organized and informed about everything happening at the middle school. She is a strong and steady advocate for her students, and she works hard to ensure the learning environment is positive, supportive, and productive. Her leadership and dedication make a real difference for both students and staff.

Jessica was also nominated by a parent who shared how much she impacted her daughter’s life. Through reading interventions and consistent support, Ms. Sallander helped her daughter get back on track with reading. Today, that same student is now an avid reader in college. What an incredible testament to the lasting impact a teacher can have.

Thank you, Jessica, for your leadership, advocacy, and commitment to helping students grow and succeed. We are so grateful for you! 💜🐾

Mrs. Klecker’s Athletic Training class is in their Taping and Wrapping Unit, and students took their skills to the next level with a competitive double elimination bracket.

Students worked to learn and perfect taping techniques for the wrist, thumb, shin, MCL/LCL, and ankle. They were evaluated on timing, accuracy, and overall knowledge of each technique. It wasn’t just about speed. It was about doing it right.

To make it even more fun, they put their skills to the test in a friendly competition with classmates. The result? A lot of focus, teamwork, and a little competitive spirit during the Taping Tournament of Champions.

Be sure to check out the bracket standings, our final winners on the podium, and the impressive progress students made over just two days. Panther Pride in action! 💜🖤 #PantherPride

📐🧱 Math You Can Actually See! 🧱📐

Ms. Steitz’s and Mrs. Marson’s Math for the Trades class has been busy turning math into something hands-on and beautiful. Thanks to the generosity of H&F Flooring and Home Design, students received donated tile to create their own mosaic-tiled tables.

While designing their projects, students practiced real-world skills like mixing materials in proper ratios by volume, estimating area, and applying math concepts in a practical setting. It’s one thing to solve a problem on paper and another to bring it to life with your own hands.

We are so grateful to our community partners for supporting our students and helping make learning meaningful. Panther Pride in action! 💜🖤 #PantherPride

🏁💨 7th Grade Industrial Tech = Fast & Focused! 💨🏁

Ms. Steitz’s 7th grade Industrial Tech students put their skills to the test by designing and building their very own CO₂ cars. From start to finish, students worked on the band saw, drill press, and sanding their designs to get them race-ready.

Then it was time to see whose car had the need for speed! Going head-to-head in a tournament-style bracket, races were so close that some were decided by the thousandth of a second. Talk about intense!

🏆 Congratulations to our top finishers:
🥇 Vinny E – 1st Place
🥈 William K – 2nd Place
🥉 Heidi P – 3rd Place

Great work to all of our 7th graders for combining design, precision, and a little friendly competition. Panther Pride in action! 💜🖤 #PantherPride

⛳🔥 From the shop to the green! 🔥⛳

Students in Mr. Manosky’s class have been putting our new equipment to work in a big way. Using the HAAS mills and TIG welders, they’ve been designing and creating their own custom putter heads from start to finish. How cool is that?

This is hands-on learning at its best. Students are taking an idea, turning it into a design, machining it with precision, and finishing it with high-level welding skills. These are real-world experiences that connect directly to careers in manufacturing, engineering, and skilled trades.

Our new CTE area is already making an impact. The upgraded space and equipment are giving students access to industry-level tools and the opportunity to build skills that will serve them long after graduation.

Way to go, Panthers! 💜🖤 #PantherPride #CTE #HandsOnLearning
