Good morning, Graduation Day is finally here and the Ellis School community is looking forward to celebrating our 8th graders this evening! Given this evening’s weather forecast, we have made the decision to move the graduation ceremony indoors to the gymnasium. While we recognize that the weather pattern may change throughout the day, we need to err on the side of caution and finalize this decision early so that our facilities team can begin to set up for the event. Arrival Information + Graduates need to arrive at 5:30. Please have them enter through the middle school entrance on the Beede Hill side of the building. + Doors will open to guests at 5:30pm. Please enter through the gymnasium doors. Parking Information +Parents of graduates, we welcome you to park in the parking spots at the Beede Hill entrance. + We kindly request that the parking spots across from the gymnasium entrance be reserved for attendees with handicapped passes or those with elderly guests. + All other guests are invited to park in front of the building or across the street at the Safety Complex. Guest Information + As a reminder, each student is allowed to bring up to ten guests. While we will not be ticketing for the ceremony, it is important that families abide by this expectation so that we do not exceed occupancy rules. Despite the storm clouds, we are eager to celebrate our outstanding graduates and look forward to seeing you in just a few short hours! Warmly, Ms. Connelly Principal

Ahead of tomorrow's class day picnic and graduation, our 8th graders spent today celebrating at Canobie Lake Park! Thanks to the generosity of the community, these students fundraised enough money at the spring Spaghetti Supper to cover their ticket costs! On top of that, Durham Bus Company generously donated the transportation costs for the bus ride. We are enormously grateful for the kindness bestowed upon these great kids!

On Tuesday evening, the Fremont School Board recognized this year's retirees for their years of service, their outstanding contributions to the district and tireless dedication to the children of Fremont. Thank you to Ms. Pipitone, Mrs. Kazan and Mrs. Almon - you will be missed!

If you missed this morning's inaugural Ellis School Business Convention, you missed out on our 4th grade entrepreneurs showcasing their innovative products, services and inventions! Throughout this unit, these future CEOs built skills in persuasive writing, economics, creating a business plan, public speaking, and so much more! Well done 4th grade, we are so impressed!

Yesterday afternoon our 8th graders hosted a Social Studies Fair where they presented about their recent experience in Washington, DC. Their presentations were well researched and expertly designed and the students were informed, articulate,and engaging. 8th graders - you make us proud!

The second graders in Mrs. Grande and Mrs. Phillips classes have been studying habitats and ecosystems. Today they had the opportunity to take a field trip to Squam Lake Science Center. They had a blast learning about the animals and seeing them up close in their natural habitats.

The Ellis School track team finished in 4th place out of ten teams at the Seacoast Track League Championship meet. Congratulations to Ryan Lowe, Noah Alcorn, Amanda Wellman, and Bella Soucie for placing in the top 6 in their events!

Ellis School had a number of historical and famous visitors this morning! Students in Mrs. Gobeil's Wax Mueseum dressed up and shared biographical facts with attendees. We were proud to welcome President Lincoln, Taylor Swift, Albert Einstein and more!

Throughout the month of May, Ms. Georato and Mrs. Gauthier challened our Ellis Eagles to collect pop tabs in support of the Ronald McDonald House Charities. The Pop Tab program is important because it provides extra revenue that can help make up for the donations that families cannot make. School wide, our students collected over 92lbs of tabs! Mrs. Gauthier's class collected the most tabs with 101, 030! This week they will be treated to McDonald's Happy Meals for lunch.
