Ellsworth Community School District Families
This letter is to inform and update families about the arrest of a senior high school staff member yesterday evening (February 20, 2023). Brandon Fuhrman, the Ellsworth Senior High School Band Instructor, was taken into custody by police on charges of Sex with a Child aged 16 or older and Sexual Assault of a Student by School Staff.
Mr. Fuhrman was taken into custody at the Ellsworth Senior High School following an investigation that began following an initial complaint late in the school day yesterday. Law enforcement officials were involved in the investigation upon receipt of the complaint and completed their investigation into the evening.
Mr. Fuhrman was placed on unpaid administrative leave at the time of the arrest.
School District staff will be continuing to work throughout the coming days to meet the needs of our students, families, and staff.
Sincerely,
Barry Cain
Superintendent
EHS hosted Reality Check last week for their high school seniors. Reality check is an interactive financial simulation where students are assigned a profile with their career, monthly income & family. Student visited tables ran by over 50 community volunteers to spend their paycheck on savings, housing, transportation, insurance, groceries and many more life expenses. We had great feedback from students such as "Wow kids are expensive. I think I'm going to wait to have kids" and "I didn't realize groceries were so much money".
We want to thank our community volunteers that came out to help on this day. Without you we couldn't do this event for our students. We really appreciate your support.
Disney’s Aladdin JR. is based on the 1992 Academy Award-winning film and the 2014 hit Broadway show about the “diamond in the rough” street rat who learns that his true worth lies deep within. The story you know and love has been given the royal treatment! Aladdin and his three friends, Babkak, Omar, and Kassim, are down on their luck until Aladdin discovers a magic lamp and the Genie who has the power to grant three wishes. Wanting to earn the respect of the princess, Jasmine, Aladdin embarks on an adventure that will test his will and his moral character. Starring 8th graders Gavin Wittenberg as Aladdin, Addison Sabby as Jasmine, and Max Olson as the Genie, we bring you a cast full of new faces, different grade levels, and most of all TALENT for the 2023 EMS Musical!! With expanded characters, new songs, and more thrills, this new adaptation of the beloved story will open up “a whole new world” for you and your whole family!
