📚👧🏽👦🏼 What an amazing day at the Ellsworth Public Library with the 3rd graders! Huge thanks to Caroline and the fantastic staff for hosting us. The kids had a blast exploring all the books and learning about the library. 🌟😊

💖✏️ Exciting news! The EHS Hearts and Minds group is spreading kindness by collecting school supplies for two schools in Ukraine! Last week, they hosted a "Pie" Silent Auction and Raffle to raise funds. 🥧🎉 Seven amazing teachers volunteered to be raffled/auctioned off, and winners got the chance to throw a pie at them! 😄🥧 What a fun way to support a great cause! Together, we raised over $350!

🏕️🔥 Ms. Kissinger's outdoor adventure was a blast! Our students got hands-on lessons in campfire safety – from start to extinguish! And guess what? Their hard work paid off with yummy treats! 😋🌲 Plus, they flexed their creativity with shelter building in our school forest – tents, tree forts, you name it! Check out their awesome creations! 🌳🏰

Thanks to a new cooperative effort between area booster clubs and the district, our middle and high school students will have a whole new resource available for their fitness and athletic development. Englebert Training Systems (ETS) will begin working with our students this summer and throughout the school year providing our students with specialized training services to promote lifelong fitness skills and athletic development. Students will have the opportunity to work with ETS and their programs in their physical education courses, sports programs, and before and after school programs. Look for much more information as we integrate ETS into our programs this next school year. Thank you to the numerous booster clubs for their support in bringing ETS to our students! https://www.etsperformance.com/schoolspecificprograms

Julie Belz worked with the third grade classes to create geometry blocks out of triangles to make a variety of designs and geometric shapes. She then took all their square designs and created 2 quilts. The quilts were created to honor two third grade retirees, Mrs. Peterson and Mrs. Hamilton.

Our amazing 4th graders embarked on an unforgettable journey to Madison! 🏛️ They delved into the heart of Wisconsin's history with a captivating tour of the Capitol, immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of our state's government. But the adventure didn't end there! 🦁🐒 They also had a wild time exploring the Henry Vilas Zoo, where they encountered fascinating creatures from around the globe. From majestic lions to playful monkeys, every moment was filled with awe and wonder.

Here's to many more adventures together!

EHS students are working on a school supply drive to help students in two schools in the Ukraine. These schools are connected to local Pierce County residents via family and friends. Many of these students spend hours each day in underground bunkers and with few resources. If you'd like to help by donating school supplies off this Amazon wish list, purchases are sent to EHS. We will then be packaging classroom sets to be sent to these schools directly. If you'd like to make a financial donation to help with shipping costs or supplies, they can be sent to EHS Hearts and Minds at Ellsworth High School at EHS 323 Hillcrest St. Ellsworth WI 54011 https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3JWA18U1QTH0C?ref_=wl_share

Every student at our middle school poured their creativity and kindness into crafting notes of encouragement. This week, we've planted these uplifting messages in our very own BEE KIND garden, sowing seeds of positivity and support for all who visit. 💜 It's incredible to see the power of words blossoming. Whether it's a simple "You've got this!" or a heartfelt reminder that "You are capable of amazing things," these notes are reminders that we're all in this together.
