A special thank you to Mrs. Caspers’ dad and his Ukrainian wife for helping with taping, inventory, and addressing each box! 🙏 Your efforts are making a difference for students across the globe! 🌍
🌟 A Day of Service in full action! 🌟 Our 5th-grade teachers teamed up with high school helpers to give back to the community last week! 💪🌍
The 5th grade classes spent their morning cleaning up trash around Summit Park, East End, the Fairgrounds, and the school grounds. 🧹🚮 Each class was joined by two high school students, making this a great opportunity for mentorship and teamwork. 🙌👫
We are so proud of our students and grateful for the high schoolers who stepped up to help!

2024 Day of Service
On September 25th, 2024 EHS held their annual Day of Service. All 9th, 10th and 12th graders reported to 29 sites in the community and surrounding areas. Some of the sites included YMCA, the Ellsworth Library, Friends of the Fair (Christmas lights), Cairns Woods, and highway clean up. A number of students also worked with community members on service learning capstone projects and many visited the local elementary school and helped with garbage clean up. Some painted the dugouts at Summit Park while others worked on the ballfields at Brown Field in Hager City.
We are so grateful to all of our community partners for their help with projects and encouraging our students in making connections and learning new skills!
🎉✨ Happy School Custodian Appreciation Day ✨🎉
Today, we celebrate our amazing custodial crew for the hard work they do every day to keep our schools clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone. 🧹🛠️ Your dedication behind the scenes makes a HUGE difference, and we are so grateful for everything you do!
Please join us in saying a big THANK YOU to our fantastic team for always going above and beyond.
Our Neighbors Place Service Project: On the Day of Service, two of our EHS students visited our Neighbors Place, the shelter in River Falls that works with people who may need help making ends meet. They are collecting supplies at PTC as well as home games. There will also be a competition during Homecoming between classes. See the flyer for more details!
📚🎉 Congrats to these amazing students who met the EES Summer Reading Challenge and won some awesome prizes! 🏆🎁
All students who turned in their reading challenge sheets earned Panther Tickets 🎟️ and stickers 🏅, plus they got to choose a brand-new book from a fantastic selection! Some of the favorites included Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Dork Diaries, and I Survived. 📖✨
Way to go, students! 👏 We encourage ALL Ellsworth students to find time to read every day! 📚❤️
🍎🍏 Mrs. Foley’s kindergarten class had a blast with real apples last week! 🤩 We balanced them on our heads, built apple towers, and even designed creative baskets to hold our apples! 🧺✨
Learning and having fun at the same time? Absolutely! 🙌 These little Panthers are full of creativity and excitement! 🎨🍎
Exciting News for Ellsworth Middle School!
We are thrilled to announce that Ellsworth Middle School has partnered with the Minnesota Timberwolves for their “Get Fit” Program! This fantastic initiative encourages our youth to stay active and play every day outside of school.
Here’s how it works: students earn points for every 15 minutes of movement. This can include a variety of everyday activities, such as playing at the playground, shoveling snow, or even walking your dog! If you accumulate 25 points or more, you will receive a complimentary ticket to a Timberwolves game this season!
If you're interested in participating in the GET FIT program, please pick up an information sheet from the office. Forms are limited, so act fast! Return completed form to Hutch or the office.
