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!
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.

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?
