Our Day of Service is still going on, but we wanted to share some initial photos from this morning's work with you! From creating math and movement mats for educators to planting flowers/painting rocks for the gardens at Poplin, it has been a beautiful Earth Day of giving!
Today, Mrs. Kelly and Ms. Moran celebrated the five champions who completed our 2025-2026 Great Stone Face Challenge! Their reward: a movie afternoon complete popcorn, treats, and a showing of the movie version of the 2015 Great Stone Face Book Award winner, Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library. Congratulations! We are so proud of you, Literacy Rockstars!
Two of our fifth grade choral students spent their Friday working on choral pieces with other 4-6 grade students from all around NH putting together music for the NHACDA Elementary Honors Festival! Congratulations--we are so proud of your hard work and dedication to your music development!
Our students in Mrs. Gibb's and Mrs. Gauthier's class had a wonderful time at the State House yesterday! They even were able to meet Rep. Litchfield who shared her experience on social media!
The Ellis track team wishes Mrs. MacArthur good luck running the Boston Marathon on Monday. What an inspiration to these young runners!

Happy Assistant Principal's Week to our very own Ms. Perkins! Be sure to wish her a happy week when you see her!
Ms. Booth was awarded a scholarship from Math & Movement to attend their two-day conference in Ithaca, NY last week and she brought TONS of fun kinesthetic math learning back to Ellis with her. Here are some pictures of her fifth graders teaching us about their new simplifying fractions kinesthetic activity.
Our nest celebrated World Autism Awareness Day today! Ellis School is proud to honor and spotlight all abilities and exceptionalities, and we are grateful to know, teach, and love individuals with autism!

The Wellness Committee is happy to announce our new April Walk & Talks on Tuesdays after school from 3:30-4:00pm.

This past Saturday two of our 5th grade band players attended the Elementary Honors Band Festival at Weare Middle School in Weare, NH. BRAVO!! You represented Ellis very well!
Our hydroponics and aquaponics class is getting ready for their plant sale in May! In addition to this project, however, they have another group that is working on creating and coding an automatic feeder for our fish. This is a picture of them trying to perfect the code on their devices! Thank you, Mr. Fraize for bringing your expertise to this project. Our students are having so much fun with this, and we appreciate all of the time you have dedicated to this project (and the Robotics Team, of course)!

Have you noticed our new mural? Mr. Fernandes has been hard at work adding color and Ellis pride to our Locker Lane hallway. Thank you, Mr. Fernandes! What would we do without you?!
We are extremely proud of the Getting to Y student ambassadors who presented to the Fremont School Board about their Youth Risk Behavior Survey data analysis process on Tuesday night. Very well done!
One of the essential standards in our Grades 5-6 social studies curriculum for the Civics competency is for students to "Differentiate among the major forms of limited and unlimited governments." To support students in practicing this skill, Mrs. Kimball asked students to build straw towers, but there was a twist: they had to follow the rules of their assigned government. What an engaging way for students to put their knowledge and understanding of forms of government to the test!
Our students won first place in the NH Prodigy State Challenge. Fourth and Fifth graders worked to solve over 10,000 math problems correctly over the month of February, spearheaded by Mrs. Gauthier & Mrs. Gibb's classes (pictured here). Prodigy sent over a prize box for the students who participated, including this amazing banner to celebrate their HUGE achievement! Our school is now in the running for the Prodigy National Cup in May!
Hill Day is NEXT WEEK!
Hope to see you there!
Hope to see you there!
