Ellis School - SAU 83

We know that those Back-to-School Sales start earlier and earlier each year, so we wanted to let you know that supply lists have been posted on our website! While teacher assignments won't be shared until mid August, many of our grade levels have the same supply lists or common requests that will allow you to fill up those shopping carts as the sales come up! https://www.sau83.org/page/school-supply-lists

At Tuesday evening's School Board meeting we had the immense pleasure of honoring Mrs. Coyle and Mrs. Emerson, both of whom are retiring this year. Ms. Ouellette was also honored with a Senate and House Resolution for being an Ellis School Teacher of Excellence!

Due to a mechanical issue Bus 5 is running approximately 15 minutes late. Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you to Mr. Vallone from the Epping Grange for the generous donation of dictionaries to our third graders. We appreciate you taking the time to teach them how to use them and giving them time to look up different words! They loved it!

Bravo to our Readers Theater actors! Today's performance was delightful!

Did you know that tomorrow is National Poppy Day. This morning, our Big and Little Eagles walked to the Fremont Village Cemetery to place poppy painted rocks on the gravestones of our local veterans. Thank you to Mrs Simard for coordinating such a thoughtful remembrance.

There was another tradition that happened today, but this time for our staff! It was Bring Your Child To Work Day! The best part? Getting to brag to them about how amazing their parent is and how lucky we are to have them in our school!

An outstanding display of learning by our third graders in Mrs. Gobeil and Mrs. Whitesell's classrooms. The annual wax museum is another favorite tradition at Ellis School!
