International Trip Spring Break 2026
Buen Viaje! The International Club will be traveling to Costa Rica and Panama over Spring Break of 2026. The trip will focus on learning about a new culture, practicing Spanish (not required, but encouraged!), and learning about the history and way of life in a new place, as well as lots of fun adventures.
If you have a student who would be interested in being a part of this adventure, there will be an informational meeting for students and parents on March 25th at 5:30 pm in the HS IMC. (There may be spots available for parents to join us on the trip, depending on the number of enrollees, as the trip is limited in size.)
At the meeting, we will review the basic itinerary, what to expect, and costs. We will also hear briefly from past trip participants.

It was amazing to see the excitement from students and families as they searched for the perfect book or some cool pens, erasers and journals.

This message is going out to all families and staff due to the possibility of inclement weather going into the next number of days. At this time, there are no cancellations of school and this is simply for planning purposes.
Due to our mild winter so far, we have had no inclement weather cancellations to this point. This allows us some flexibility at this time. Due to this, any inclement weather cancellations in the upcoming week will be virtual learning days for students and staff. Emails will be sent by the building-level principals and staff regarding schedules and plans in the cases of inclement weather days.
This plan allows us to continue instruction as we enter the last week of the third quarter and also allows us to keep the Monday, April 1st day scheduled day off of school.
🌟📚👧🧒 Our first graders have been on an amazing journey in Social Studies, diving deep into the world of Citizenship! 🌍✨ From understanding respect, responsibility, and perseverance to embracing honesty, good choices, and teamwork, these young minds are shining examples of what it means to be good citizens! 🌟💼🤝 Let's continue to nurture these values in our little ones as they grow into the leaders of tomorrow! 🌱💡

Over spring break, the International Club traveled to Germany, Austria and Italy. There were 25 EHS students and 17 family members and chaperones who accompanied them. It was an amazing experience, as travelers visited the Alps, the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, the Vatican and the Colosseum and so much more! Students learned a lot about historical sites, and cultural traditions and ate a lot of great food!
The International Club is open to all EHS students and travels every other year. If your student will be in high school in 2026, look for information about the next International Trip to Central America in the coming weeks or contact Anne Pechacek at pechaceka@ellsworth.k12.wi.us for more information.
