Get Hooked on Math in Pirate Land - Family Math Night

We will host a family night math on Monday, March 8. This event will be different than any other event we've had here at Ellendale. Our school will be transformed into Pirate Land! We will begin with a FREE family supper in our cafeteria at 5pm. Both students and parents will report to classrooms together for an interactive math session at 6pm. After the session, student who participate will receive a FREE treasure box, full of homework supplies for use at home. Don't miss this fun and exciting night! Also, students, you can dress up in your favorite pirate gear! Black beard himself may also be here! Be sure to save the date!

Thanks for the feedback!

Our first parent pancake breakfast was held Monday. Our attendance was a little lower than we hoped for but we were experiencing bad weather. Even though we had a small group we received great feedback from the parents in attendance. Please know that your comments and feedback are always welcome! Thank you for your continued support!

Pancakes with the Principal

Monday, Feb. 15 is our first Pancakes with the Principal breakfast. A homemade pancake breakfast will be served at 8am in the school multipurpose room. Please sign in the lobby and receive a visitor's pass when you arrive. This is not a time for parents and students to eat together, but a time for parents to come together over a meal, fellowship, and share ideas on ways we can improve our school. There is no 'program' start time so you can come at any time around 8am until all pancakes are gone! I hope to see you all on Monday! By working together we can ensure Ellendale is the best school we can possibly be!

Haiti Relief

Our school has several projects going on to raise money for Haiti disaster relief. 5th grade students have initiated a lanyard sale. They have handmade lanyards and will be selling those for .25 - .50 once per week for the next few weeks. Also, classes are also having a coin drive to raise money. Each Friday throughout February, students can pay .25 to wear a hat on Hats for Haiti day! All monies raised through these projects will be sent through Samaritin's Purse to help with disaster relief.

Parent Update February 3

Wow. I don't know about you but I am ready for some Spring weather! We have been trying to salvage this week's calendar and make the most out of our short time at school due to our recent bout with bad weather! I know as parents you are also probably ready for your kids to be back in school too! :) This week we will have our school spelling bee on Thursday at 10:30. This event will take place even if we are on a delayed schedule. We have rescheduled winter parent conferences for Thursday, Feb. 11. I hope you are all staying warm and I look forward to seeing you at the Pancakes with the Principal Parent Breakfast on Friday, Feb. 5. The breakfast will begin at 8 am in the multipurpose room. Please sign in and receive a badge in the lobby. If we are on a delay or if there is no school, the breakfast will be rescheduled for sometime in March. I hope you will attend to provide your feedback concerning our school!
