Thank you for a wonderful school year, we wish you a summer break filled with fun and family time!

During the month of June, learners in TGV have been studying westward expansion and journeying across the Oregon Trail. This week Oregon Trail days were held where learners dressed the part, participated in pioneer activities and games, and even had a visit from oxen from Sanborn Mills Farm.

At Tuesday evening's School Board meeting we had the immense pleasure of honoring Mrs. Coyle and Mrs. Emerson, both of whom are retiring this year. Ms. Ouellette was also honored with a Senate and House Resolution for being an Ellis School Teacher of Excellence!

Due to a mechanical issue Bus 5 is running approximately 15 minutes late. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you to Mr. Vallone from the Epping Grange for the generous donation of dictionaries to our third graders. We appreciate you taking the time to teach them how to use them and giving them time to look up different words! They loved it!

Bravo to our Readers Theater actors! Today's performance was delightful!

Did you know that tomorrow is National Poppy Day. This morning, our Big and Little Eagles walked to the Fremont Village Cemetery to place poppy painted rocks on the gravestones of our local veterans. Thank you to Mrs Simard for coordinating such a thoughtful remembrance.

There was another tradition that happened today, but this time for our staff! It was Bring Your Child To Work Day! The best part? Getting to brag to them about how amazing their parent is and how lucky we are to have them in our school!

An outstanding display of learning by our third graders in Mrs. Gobeil and Mrs. Whitesell's classrooms. The annual wax museum is another favorite tradition at Ellis School!

Good afternoon, our Eagles are just coming out of a clear hallways due to an individual with a medical emergency. Thank you, Mrs. Halliday
