Ellis School - SAU 83

Teacher Appreciation Week is always a memorable week at Ellis School simply because we have the PTA around!

Rain did not make fifth grade's trip to Fisher Cat Stadium any less fun! STEAM day was filled with learning about robotics, animals, golf courses and more! Thanks to the fifth grade team for coordinating such a great day!

Parent involvement is critical in reducing or preventing adolescent participation in high risk behaviors. But how do parents influence their children positively during adolescence – a time of increased independence and time spent with peers? Join SoRock for a free workshop.

Spring assessments will be here before we know and our learners are working VERY HARD on mastering their math facts! Did you know that repeated practice helps students to master fact fluency? Five minutes of fact fluency practice at home everyday is all we are asking for. If your child is in: Kindergarten - 2nd grade: Please practice addition and subtraction facts. 3rd-6th grade: Please practice multiplication and division facts. Even our 7th and 8th graders would benefit from repeated practice of these skills. Please take a moment to read this week's News from the Nest https://www.smore.com/sg29v

Good morning, This morning, our partners from the Fremont Police and Fire Departments will be at Ellis School to complete necessary trainings. We are alerting the community because there will be several emergency vehicles on campus. Thank you, Brigid Connelly Principal

Throughout this week our 7th and 8th Graders participated in a Spirit Week that was coordinated by our student senators under the guidance of Ms. DeFeo and Mrs. Almon. Advisories partnered up to participate in an Earth Day door decorating contest, a scavenger hunt, a game of knockout and other great activities. Today, they celebrated with a field day that included breakfast, a kickball tournament, trivia, and some time to chill and play games. Best of all they collected more than 500 food items for donation! This group of kiddos missed out many traditions throughout the pandemic and we are so grateful for adults who recognize that loss and work so hard to create new memorable traditions!

It's baby chick season in Mrs Clark's classroom!

Today's Community Meeting celebrated the $19,650 that our Eagles raised for the Kids Heart Challenge! The top 50 fundraisers were rewarded with the opportunity to pie a teacher! Ms Connelly and Sgt Buckley have never felt more popular than they did today! A HUGE thank you to Mrs Kimball for motivating our kids to give back so much!

In December, Mrs. Bolduc and Mrs. Kimball collaborated on a unit that connects both of their specialties, called Drums Alive. They loved working the unit together so much that they decided to share their knowledge with other music teachers at the NHMEA Spring Conference on Friday! How lucky is Ellis to have two amazing Unified Arts educators!

Two of our amazing grade 6 chorus members were chosen to attend the NHMEA Elementary Chorus Honors Festival. They worked on the music with Mrs. Bolduc before attending the one day work session with their guest conductor and other students from around NH. They learned a lot on Friday and were part of an amazing concert to end the NHMEA Spring Conference. Congratulations, ladies, we are proud to have Eagles like you!
