Last Thursday we discovered this morning that we have a water main break under our high school building near the location that it enters our building on the north side. This is the water main that is original to the building and simply broke. Due to this, there will be no water/restrooms available at the high school until further notice. We are currently working with contractors to have the service replaced but we do not have a timeframe at this point in time for the repairs to be completed.
At this time, we have provided satellites behind our building so that we can continue our summer weight room use and contact days with athletes along with a few other summer school offerings.
We will provide updates as we learn more.
Hello Summer School Families,
Due to the Air Quality Alert we will be moving our outdoor classes inside tomorrow with the exception of our swimming lessons. We have decided to continue our swimming lessons due to the fact that their exposure time is less as they split the session with other activities. If you have concerns for your child please reach out to Ashley Boe at 715-273-3908 or email at boea@ellsworth.k12.wi.us so we can make other arrangements due to this circumstance. We are hoping to get back outside on Friday but will continue to watch the alerts.
Anna Winger was recently honored at the Discovery Scholarship banquet at the Omni Hotel in Minnesota through Flint Hills Resources where they praised the accolades of all of the students to receive the scholarship. Anna was the only student from Wisconsin. Congrats Anna! Way to represent Ellsworth!!!

Spanish II celebrated reading the book Robo en la noche with a Costa Rica themed party. The book includes lots of interesting facts about Costa Rica, a bird heist, and complex characters trying to deal with loss. Students contributed to make casados, traditional Costa Rican meals and were also able to see some birds! Who knows? Some of these students may go to Costa Rica (for real) in the future! ¡Pura vida!🦜

A group of Ellsworth High School students got to try their hand at automotive work, as the school stripped apart and rebuilt a golf cart for local auto shop Courtesy Auto.
The project started when Courtesy Auto and Brickner’s Auto each donated a Snap-On Tools Blue-Point starter kit to the school, in addition to Courtesy Auto’s donation of a golf cart back in January.
A BIG THANK YOU to Courtesy Auto Repair & Brickner Auto for their donations to the EHS.
