On Friday, January 20, members of the Ellsworth American Legion Post 204 presented a check to Ellsworth Food Director Dee Rasmussion in the amount of $1,200. The money is to be used to help students that may be struggling to maintain a positive balance in their lunch accounts. Ms. Rasmusson would like to extend a huge Thank you to the American Legion!!!
Ms. Rasmusson stated, “We use the donations for families that are having a hard time paying for their child's or children's lunch account. We have a lot of families in our district that are struggling with paying for their meals. They are either on the border line of not getting the free/reduced meals or have other financial issues that they are struggling with. So we try to help out these families and most of them are very appreciative and emotional when we help them out. Times are really tough right now and we want to help those that are trying so hard to pay for meals.
This is so important that we help with the food insecurity in our community. Thank you again for donating and making life a little easier for those that need it.”

Delaney Johnson has been selected by staff as the WILS representative for Ellsworth High School. WILS aims to identify outstanding high school sophomores throughout Wisconsin for being responsible citizens in their community and/or school and provide them with the opportunity and encouragement to recognize their leadership potential.
Congrats Delaney!

fever of 100 degrees F or higher
nausea or vomiting
severe headache
diarrhea
red, watery eyes with yellow or green drainage
undiagnosed rash
Children should stay home until they have been naturally without fever for at least 24 hours. Please do not give children fever-reducing medication and then send them to school.
