Read Across America photos (Part 3)! Here are some of our photos from yesterday's Fan Club (Favorite Book Character) Day! Enjoy!
We want to extend a very special thank you to all of the guest readers who joined us last week to share their love of reading with our students. We appreciate you for taking the time out of your day to read with us! If you have photos from when you came in to read, we would love to see and share them. Mrs. Rosenberg did not get a chance to capture every single reader, unfortunately!
We finally unveiled our new eagle mascot to our students today (thanks to a grant!) , and this eagle was a hit! It brought joy, laughter, high fives, and hugs. We asked our students, "What should we name the mascot?" They had some great suggestions, like Ellis, Evan, and more. What do you think the Ellis eagle mascot's name should be? Drop your suggestions below!
Read Across America photos (Part 2)! These ones are from "Thesaurus Thursday," when our staff and students embodied vocabulary words!
Due to the weather we are switching to a "no school" day for Friday, March 6, 2026. Please be careful if you have to go out.
Here come the Read Across America Week photos (Part 1)!
Ellis will have a 2 hour delay on Fri Mar 6. We will reassess the situation at 6:30am in the event we need to switch to a cancellation.

Don't forget: When we get back from break, it's READ ACROSS AMERICA WEEK! We cannot wait to see your amazing spirit and for our guest readers to arrive!
We know it's vacation, but we wanted to showcase some of our favorite moments from before break, including some photos of:
--our fourth graders' chicken eggs hatching as a conclusion to their unit on NH birds and the structure and adaptation of birds. All thanks for this project go to Lee Andron and his Copp Coop Co-Op :)
--Mrs. Gibb and Mrs. Gauthier sharing their executive functioning strategies with their colleagues during Wednesday's early release. Thanks to Sarah Sherman for facilitating this workshop!
--our middle school students supporting our fifth graders during math intervention.
We hope you are enjoying your time on break, and we miss you already!

We are extra appreciative of NH Makers for transforming our room numbers into something we are extremely proud of! Our Safety Team has been hard at work collaborating with Fremont Police and Fire Departments to renumber our school classrooms since this fall, so this has been a long-awaited process and project. Thanks to Mr. Gallant, we have finally turned our signage dreams into a reality.
We would like to thank our families for attending Unified Arts Night on Wednesday. We had a BLAST! Thank you Unified Arts teachers, Mrs. Bolduc, Mr. Fernandes, Mrs. Kimball, and Mrs. Mack for all of your hard work!
It was the 100th day of school for our students yesterday and our kindergarten students continued the tradition of dressing as if they are 100 years old! It was also the 1000th day of school for our fifth graders, and they celebrated by completing several 1,000 day activities.
Mrs. Rosenberg and Mr. Beaudoin represented Ellis School at the New Hampshire Special Olympics 2026 Penguin Plunge this weekend. The theme this year was jungle safari! Thanks to all of you, we were able to raise over $2,219 for the NH Special Olympics. We hope to plunge again with you all next year! Are you ready to jump into the Atlantic with us in 2027?
Class of 2039 Parents: It's officially time to sign your child up for kindergarten with us next school year. We cannot wait to meet you and to start your child's learning journey at Ellis School in September 2026!
This past week, learners in Mrs. Phillips and Mrs. Grande's classes closed out their simple machine unit by taking a field trip to the Exeter Bowling Lanes. The owner, Rob, took them behind the scenes to see all the simple machines in action. They also had fun bowling while practicing their math skills by learning to keep score.
