We are looking for a minimum of 36 VOLUNTEERS for April 30th and May 14th!!! On April 30th the 7th grade class, and on May 14th the 6th grade class will be attending Junior Achievement, a unique experiential education program. This on-site visit is one of the concluding activities to the curriculum. To ensure a successful visit, we need at least 18 adult volunteers to accompany us to Junior Achievement in St. Paul and help facilitate the simulation activities. The role of the volunteer will be to guide the students as they work on their simulation. Volunteers who offer to assist during the on-site visit must participate in an online training session to prepare for their work with the students. This training provides volunteers with the opportunity to understand the in-class curriculum as well as the on-site schedule and procedures. They will gain understanding about their role in assisting the students. Junior Achievement suggests parents not be placed with their child, although there will be time during lunch and shopping breaks for parents to connect with their child. All volunteers must be on the approved volunteer list for Ellsworth Community Schools (the form is attached and is also available in the Middle School office or online). Volunteers will be required to complete an online orientation session one week prior to our visit to Junior Achievement. Volunteers will also be required to arrive one hour before the students, on the morning of our simulation to receive instructions from the JA staff. Junior Achievement is located at 1745 University Ave, St. Paul, MN 55104. Volunteers will need to drive themselves or ride with other volunteers in order to attend the required training before the students arrive. If you'd like to volunteer please contact Buena Farrell at farrellb@ellsworth.k12.wi.us

At the January board meeting, the Ellsworth Community School District Board of Education officially approved the resolution to move to a $25.445 million Facilities Referendum at the upcoming April 2, 2024, election. A year ago, the district contracted for the completion of an in-depth facility study to best identify our most pressing facility needs. This study provided important information regarding the life cycles of aging infrastructure of our facilities such as mechanicals, flooring, doors, windows, parking lots, roofs, etc. Following the facility study, a community-wide survey was conducted last fall to measure support for various elements of what were defined as the items of highest priority. In all, $40.4 million in projects were tested. The results of the survey showed little support for projects that included outdoor athletic field improvements and a childcare facility. The survey also demonstrated that the cost of all of the projects was a concern. As a result of the survey, the projects were narrowed down in scope and cost with the elimination of the athletic field projects and the childcare facility. The projects now include: ◼️Addressing aging infrastructure at the nearly 30-year-old middle school along with light remodeling of the locker bays, science labs, and Career and Tech Ed area. ◼️Addressing aging infrastructure at the high school. ◼️Remodeling and expansion of the 1970’s era Career and Tech Ed area at the high school in order to promote careers in the trades, agriculture, engineering, food service, and business. ◼️Expansion of the inadequate weight room and physical fitness area at the high school to meet the needs of our physical and athletic programs along with the expansion of the main gym lobby. In the coming weeks leading up to the referendum, we will be publishing much more information about the referendum to best inform the public about the proposed projects. We have also launched a referendum project page on our website at https://www.ellsworth.k12.wi.us/page/facility-referendum-2024
