Adrian was able to to be principal for an hour after saving up 100 panther tickets.
Did you know simple actions like talking, reading, and singing with your children right from the start can build their
brains and prepare them for success in school and beyond? Whether it’s mealtime, bath time, play time, or even
laundry time, have fun turning these everyday moments into “talk time”!
Bring TWO loads of laundry, your child and join us for some fun activities while doing some laundry!

We haven't done this event since early 2020 and we are excited to be offering “Reality Check” to our seniors this year and would love your support in this event.
On Wednesday, February 15th, 2023 (snow makeup day is February 17th) approximately 130 Ellsworth High School students will participate in our annual “Reality Check!” event.
This interactive financial reality simulation helps students get a feel for life on their own. At the event, students are given a simulated paycheck with a monthly wage and are randomly assigned marital status, parenthood, and credit card debt. After going to “Uncle Sam,” who deducts taxes from their gross income, students must complete a number of financial transactions to make it through a typical month. They purchase housing, utilities, insurance, groceries, cars, childcare, gasoline, and more from booths staffed by volunteers.
If you are interested in volunteering please fill out this google form and our coordinator will be in touch with you.

On December 2nd, 6th graders from Ellsworth Middle School participated in a Courage Retreat conducted by Youth Frontiers. Youth Frontiers, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that partners with schools to create more positive school communities.
“The Youth Frontiers Courage Retreat inspires character by empowering a single grade level of students to act with moral courage and identify the social fears and peer pressures that impede responsible decision-making. The retreat encourages them to take positive risks that make a healthy difference for themselves, their peers and your school. Participation in the retreat results in cognitive, attitudinal and behavioral shifts that decrease students’ distractions to learning and build a positive school community. “- Youth Frontiers
Students arrived at Zion Covenant Church in Ellsworth and were greeted by excited high school mentors. 6th grade students were broken down into small groups and discussed ideas on how to treat each other better, and how to become engaged and stand up for one another. There were large group activities with music and singing, communicating important messages, while encouraging student participation. Interactive games were played throughout the day to break down barriers, increase trust, and encourage teamwork within the 6th grade class. At the end of the day students were asked to focus on an act of courage they will strive for. It was a great day, with a lot of impact! The Courage Retreat is funded in part by a generous grant from the Ellsworth Community School District Foundation. Thank you from the 6th grade students and staff.
Last week Mr Senti's AP Environmental Science class got a tour of Roberts Wastewater Treatment by plant manager John Bond. A portion of their treatment system is cutting edge biotechnology that uses algae to remove phosphorus from the wastewater. As extra algae is produced and removed, it can be dried and sold to companies to make bio-plastics. The green tubes you see are made of glass and is where the algae and water flow. There are over 7 miles of tubing running in their system.

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.
Any questions please reach out to our school nurse Bridget Nelson at nelsonbri@ellsworth.k12.wi.us or 715-273-3912
