There are no words to thank our hardworking teachers, therapists, and staff who teach and support our students every day. There are also no words to thank our students for teaching us so much more than we could ever teach them.

Resilience Expert Tasha Schuh Will Present at Ellsworth Middle School on December 7, 2023 at 10:05 am, Addressing Mental Health
Tasha Schuh is an inspirational speaker who equips youth and educators to be resilient for their mental and emotional health. The four components of her speech, PATH (Purpose, Attitude, Team, and Hope), helped Tasha be resilient after a life-changing theater accident at age 16, which left her paralyzed from the chest down. She now lives a vibrant, fulfilling life, sharing her message of PATH across the nation.
Tasha’s message will empower our Ellsworth Middle School students and staff with tangible tools to improve their mental and emotional health and overcome life's challenges. We are looking forward to welcoming Tasha to our school.
Tasha will present at Ellsworth Middle School, 312 Panther Drive, Ellsworth, WI at 10:05 am. Members of the media are welcome to attend Tasha’s presentation.

Guess what our amazing 5th graders have been up to? 🤩 They've been diving into the fascinating world of nature by learning about the life cycle of trout! 🐣🌿
A few weeks ago, our young scientists received trout eggs, and guess what? They've already hatched! 🐟🥚 The students are now actively involved in monitoring and maintaining the environment for their tiny aquatic friends.
Thanks to the generous support from the Excel Grant with the Ellsworth School Foundation, we're able to provide this hands-on learning experience for our students. 🙌📚 The initial funding has paved the way for an enriching journey that connects our students with the wonders of nature.
Over the next several months, our 5th graders will be dedicated caretakers, ensuring the well-being and growth of these trout. They'll be conducting water tests, learning about ecosystems, and fostering a sense of responsibility.
The ultimate goal? Releasing these trout into Isabelle Creek, contributes to the conservation of our local environment. 🌎💙
Let's cheer on our young scientists!!

Help protect your children -- and their classmates -- when they're under the weather so that they can return to the classroom healthy and ready to learn. When your child is sick the best thing you can do is to keep your children home when sick.
This will help stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers.
Keep them home when they show any of these symptoms:
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.
