On behalf of Dr. Carter and the administrative team at Ellsworth, we would like to extend a very special thank you to all the students who volunteered at the Ellsworth School Open House on Saturday. More than 300 former alumni and faculty attended this event which celebrated more than 80 years of Ellsworth history. The event would not have been possible without the student volunteers who helped park cars, greet guests, and supervise spaces. Thank you all for your time, enthusiasm, and grace!
Congratulations to Bobcat Robotics Team 177 who traveled to Detroit, Michigan for the FIRST World Championships last week and finished as semifinalists of the Darwin Division.

Thank you to all the teachers and the administration for their hard work and support this season, especially: Mr. Savvides, Mr. Smith, Dr. McCarthy, Mr. Wilkinson, Ms. Connolly and Mr. Sytulek.
