We thought we would start your April Break off with some memorable "Pie in the Face" pictures from Friday. Thanks to Mrs. H. Kimball, we have a lasting tradition at Ellis to close out the Kids Heart Challenge with some pudding pies in the face. The students who raise at least $150 get to pie a staff member in the face right before break! This year our Eagles fundraised a total of $19,364.48 for the American Heart Association. Way to go, Ellis!
Our seventh graders had their annual Trout in the Classroom field trip yesterday and had a blast. We love seeing them apply their science skills and understanding to the real world through experiential learning. Thank you, Mr. Asbell!
Class of 2026: We can't wait to see you! Please share this with all of our Eagles who are graduating high school this year. We would love to be reunited with all students who graduated eighth grade from Ellis in 2022, no matter where they are currently attending high school.
You may remember a group of eighth graders who posted about their bake sale a couple of weeks ago! Thanks to all of your support, they created this incredible kindness project called "Ellis' Little Pantry." Way to go, Julia, Hannah, Tori, Emma, Debbie, and Bethany. You have made such an important impact on our community.
