PTA Shamrock Shuffle

With the St. Patrick's Day parade cancelled again, Coach Lesley & the PTA Health & Wellness committee are here to save the day! Grab your green gear, get outside and enjoy the wonderful Spring weather. Post a short video at the Flipgrid link below showing off your festive spirit and with the luck of the Irish, we'll create a little parade of our own, Ellis style!

View Coach Lesley's video and post your video here: https://flipgrid.com/shamrockshuffle

                             

Please make sure your child is logging in through ItsLearning and completing lessons and practice on i-Ready 3 times a week! Students will be assessed on the skills they are practicing on i-Ready, so it is important that they are well acquainted with the program.

All students should read with Amira 3 times a week!
