🧩💜🧡 Puzzle Club kicked off with an amazing turnout! Our Jaguars jumped right in—working together, talking through strategies, and piecing together all kinds of puzzles! 🐆✨
6th Grade ELA was hard at work this week💜📚 Students rotated through engaging stations — rewriting emails to practice strong tone and grammar, visiting the media center to grab new books, and diving into a reading activity. Love seeing our Jaguars learning in so many different ways! 🐾
🟣🟠 OUR JAGS HAVE A LOT TO CELEBRATE! 🟠🟣
What a week for Ellis athletics!
🏈 Football moves to 4–0 after a big win over Mooresville last night.
🎾 Girls Tennis brought home a victory against West Rowan.
🥎 Softball snagged the W against Knox.
⛳ Golf had a strong showing, finishing 2nd in yesterday’s match.
And here’s the best part — nearly 140 of our Jaguars are involved in fall sports, which is almost one‑third of our entire school. That’s incredible involvement, teamwork, and school pride.
Way to go, Jaguars! Keep leading the way! 🐾🟣🟠

🟣🟠 Teamwork in Art Today! 🟠🟣
Our Jaguars worked together in the Art room to recreate a drawing — but with a twist! Each student guided the marker only using their piece of yarn, making teamwork the key to success 🐾🎨

💜🧡🐾 Jaguars engineering their way to the top! 🐾🧡💜
Students in Mrs. Watson’s class took on the Paper Tower Challenge this week — using only a few sheets of paper, tape, and scissors to design and build the tallest, strongest tower they could imagine.
Teams brainstormed, planned, built, tested… and then reflected on what worked and what they’d change next time. Talk about creativity, teamwork, and problem‑solving in action!

✨ Our Jaguars were busy learning on Day Three!
• 7th graders in Ms. Beck’s and Mrs. Greene’s classes dove into creative writing activities that had them thinking, drafting, and sharing their ideas.
• Over in Mrs. Kovich’s room, students grabbed their whiteboards to work through math problems and show their reasoning.
• And our 6th‑grade band students practiced how to correctly hold their mouthpiece—building strong fundamentals from day one.
We love seeing our students engaged, confident, and growing every single day! 💜🐾🧡
