🌍 Happy Earth Day, everyone! 🌿 Today is the perfect day to celebrate our planet and spend time in nature. ☀️ Let's make the most of this beautiful weather!
Looking for ways to get your kids involved in Earth Day? Here are some easy and fun activities for families to do tonight:
🌱 Plant a Tree: Find a spot in your yard or a nearby park to plant a tree together. It's a great way to contribute to our environment and teach kids about the importance of trees.
🚶♀️ Take a Nature Walk: Explore our school forest, a local trail or park. Observe the plants, insects, and birds you encounter. Encourage kids to appreciate the beauty of nature around them.
♻️ Clean Up: Grab some reusable bags and gloves, then head out to pick up litter in your neighborhood. Make it a game to see who can collect the most trash!
🎨 Create Nature Art: Collect leaves, flowers, and rocks during your outdoor adventure, then use them to create nature-inspired art when you get home. Think leaf rubbings, flower collages, or painted rocks.
Let's make today memorable by connecting with nature and appreciating its beauty! 🌳

Each year, member schools select one male and one female senior student-athlete to represent their school as Middle Border Conference Scholar Athlete. To be eligible, these students must have a minimum of 4 varsity letters and a 3.5 GPA. Each school is allowed to nominate one male and one female student-athlete. The 16 conference nominees, together with their friends and family, are invited to St. Croix Central High School for a banquet. There, they listen to a guest speaker, usually a former player or coach from the conference, are presented with their medal by their athletic director, and give a speech about what participating in high school athletics has meant to them.
The 2024 MBC Female Scholar Athlete from Ellsworth is Molly Janke.
Molly is the daughter of Jason and Chanda Janke. Molly is a decorated 3 sport athlete who has earned a total of 11 letters in Tennis, Basketball and Softball while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

Molly will also graduate this spring as the school leader in points, steals, assists and rebounds in basketball and a proud recipient of Academic Elite Honors from the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association, one of only 15 athletes in the state to earn this credential, and has earned All-State Recognition in basketball 2 years in a row. Lastly, Molly has been selected to play in the WBCA All-Star Game this summer.

Don't miss this hilarious play full of laughter and mishaps! See you there! 🎉
As I am sure many already know, the school district’s facility referendum passed with 1463 votes in favor of the referendum and 1341 votes opposed at the April 2nd election.
The process of bringing referendums to the voters is something that we take very seriously. This referendum was the result of a months-long facility study that identified our most pressing needs within the buildings and within our curriculum. Along with this, we conducted a community survey that provided us with valuable information about the general feelings of our community regarding various projects.
At the core of our processes is the fundamental goal to bring only what we feel is truly needed in order to provide the support of our operations and to continue to provide quality facilities for our students, staff, and community. All of this information together ultimately led to the project brought to the district residents that we felt best represented what the public was most likely to support.
The second phase of our work will now begin as our staff, architects, construction managers, and community partners work to finalize the plans over the coming months. We will be sure to provide everyone with updates on our progress as we move toward the first construction projects beginning in the late spring of 2025.
We are truly looking forward to the day that these projects are completed and we will work hard to be sure the projects are a source of pride for our community. Thank you to all of our residents for your continued interest in our schools and dedication to making our schools the best they can be!
