We love the joy that our annual Halloween Parade at Poplin Nursing Home brings to both generations. It's an event that our trick or treaters look forward to every year and the residents and staff prepare for with care, thoughtfulness and fun! We're so lucky to share in each other's company.
Coach Booth, Coach Wall and Coach DeBlois had the opportunity to highlight our fall athletes at yesterday's Community Meeting. Our young volleyball team had a great season as they learned about the game and united as a team! And our soccer team was recognized not only for their undefeated season but also for the commitment, teamwork, perseverance, and effort that allows a team to attain such an incredible achievement! Well done athletes!
Don't get stuck with unwanted Halloween Candy! Ellis School's annual Halloween Giveback begins tomorrow and we are trying to beat last year's record of 400lbs!!
Thank you to Team Good Vibes for hosting our October Community Meeting this morning! Today our Ellis Eagles got to be PAJAMPIONS to help kick off a building-wide service project. For the month of November, learners in TGV are collecting PAJAMAS to donate to our neighbors in need. Donations of new pajamas can be dropped off in the large bin in the front lobby.
Last week Mrs. Bolduc and Mrs. Kimball travelled to UNH to share their hands-on, engaging presentation about their cross curricular collaboration through the program Drums Alive with their Collegiate NHMEA students! We are so proud to have a Unified Arts team that sets the standard for collaboration and student engagement!

Our seventh and eighth graders made their way to the fire tower at Patuckaway today! During their adventure they realized how valuable perseverance and community are when working through hard things. What an important lesson for them to carry through the year. Thanks to their teachers for coordinating this valuable opportunity!
This week we kicked off our Big Eagle/Little Eagle peer mentoring program! These beloved partnerships match our upper middle school students with our elementary students. Together they play board games, craft, go for walks, talk through problems that might arise and build trusted friendships. Our mentors serve as role models, advocates, leaders and academic motivators. Thank you to Mrs Simard and Mrs Almon for facilitating this purposeful and powerful program!
We are delighted to introduce you to Channa Delaney, a new paraeducator that has recently joined the Ellis School community! Mrs. Delaney was born and raised in Michigan where she developed a deep admiration for the pursuit of knowledge. Nothing brings her greater joy than assisting students in unlocking their full potential and nurturing their love for learning. It is with great enthusiasm that she joins the esteemed family here at Ellis.
