This morning, the Ellis community came together to honor Veteran's Day. Our kindergartners led us in The Pledge, 7th and 8th grade taught us about the history of Veteran's Day, 6th grade shared the Poem About Loving A Solider, 3rd grade shared facts about Veteran's Day and our Girl Scouts presented and retired the flags. It was a heartfelt and meaningful opportunity for our learners to honor the many Veterans that make Fremont such a special place.
Fun fact! Our educators held approximately 300 progress conferences over the last 24 hours!!
Did you know that family engagement in schools contributes to positive student outcomes, including improved child and student achievement, decreased disciplinary issues, improved parent-teacher and teacher-student relationships, and improved school environment.
Your involvement in Ellis School is what makes our community so special!
