This morning, our community gathered to honor the upcoming Memorial Day holiday. Former Ellis Eagle, James Thompson led The Pledge of Allegiance, third and fourth graders sang patriotic songs and a group of sixth graders recited In Flanders Field. Thank you to our counseling team for facilitating a meaningful ceremony.
More than 20 years ago, the staff at Ellis School established the Jeans for Teens Scholarship Fund as a way to raise money for the children of Fremont who were headed off to college. Over $20,000 has been distributed! Donations are collected for the fund in exchange for wearing jeans on Fridays. While a dress down day is something the staff looks forward to, the biggest reward is knowing that the donations are going to such deserving students as those receiving our awards this year. These students have consistently shown a dedication to
excellence in the pursuit of higher education and meeting the everyday challenges
facing young people today.
This year’s recipients are: James Thompson , who will be pursuing a degree in Education, and Kyle Brown, who plans on studying Astronomy/Astrophysics. The staff was able to raise additional funds this year and is pleased to award two bonus scholarships for Emma Soares who will be studying Human Development and Family Studies and Erica Smith who plans on studying Biomedical Engineering or Chemistry. Their intended colleges are gaining four very
competent and motivated students!
All of these students have shown great dedication to their studies and community and have an obvious goal in life that they will no doubt obtain.
Congratulations and best wishes to you as well as all the graduates of the class of
2023!

Our seventh grade scientists partnered with New Hampshire Fish and Game today to release the trout that they have been raising into the Exeter River. While at the river, students had the opportunity to cast flyrods, collect water sample and conduct three tests that assess the health of the river and collected a range of bugs that they identified and counted. Thank you to Mr. Asbell for securing a grant from NHEED that provided an outstanding hands-on opportunity!

This past vacation with the help of her amazing husband and the knowledge of a music teacher friend, Mrs. Bolduc built a Maypole for her classroom! She is teaching the students about this part of May Day, the first day of summer celebration (which used to be held on May 1st) in Europe. She is using her knowledge of Folk Dancing to try something new this year! Several classes have been having a wonderful time learning how to make the ribbons weave together and how to hold the ribbons safely as well as move in various circles around the pole safely! Next, they will work on speeding up the process with music!
Spring assessments are here! Team Good Vibes and Mrs Gobeil test this week!
Did you know that repeated practice helps students to master fact fluency? Five minutes of fact fluency practice at home everyday is all we are asking for.
If your child is in:
Kindergarten - 2nd grade: Please practice addition and subtraction facts.
3rd-6th grade: Please practice multiplication and division facts.
Even our 7th and 8th graders would benefit from repeated practice of these skills.

Throughout this week our 7th and 8th Graders participated in a Spirit Week that was coordinated by our student senators under the guidance of Ms. DeFeo and Mrs. Almon.
Advisories partnered up to participate in an Earth Day door decorating contest, a scavenger hunt, a game of knockout and other great activities. Today, they celebrated with a field day that included breakfast, a kickball tournament, trivia, and some time to chill and play games. Best of all they collected more than 500 food items for donation!
This group of kiddos missed out many traditions throughout the pandemic and we are so grateful for adults who recognize that loss and work so hard to create new memorable traditions!
It's baby chick season in Mrs Clark's classroom!
