Yesterday morning, Mrs. Simard and Ms. Almon hosted a special breakfast for our Big and Little Eagles! Did you know that our Big Eagle peer mentoring program has grown to include over 60 students this year?!

There is magic in watching our kids sing, play an instrument or perform on stage! We want to thank you for coming together as a community to cheer on our nervous performers and celebrate the lifelong memories that these long standing traditions create!

Last week two representatives from Team Good Vibes delivered the more than 100 brand new pajamas that they collected throughout the month of November. Ingrid made a delivery to the Friends Program in Concord and Hazel delivered to the Upper Room in Derry!

This afternoon our 7th grade led a Community Meeting that was filled to the brim with JOY! After the singing and dancing, our Student Council and Sgt. Buckley presented the nearly 600 toys that our Ellis Eagles and the greater Fremont Community donated to Toys for Tots! We want to highlight the leadership that our Student Council demonstrated throughout the Toys for Tots drive. Earlier this month, the Student Senators voted to spend $500 of their budget to purchase dozens of toys for kids in need and hosted a Winter Dance where attendees had the option of bringing a new, unwrapped toy in lieu of the cost of admission.
