Baby chickens have hatched! Mrs. Rice's 1st graders and Mrs. Klein's Kindergarteners are starting to see some baby chickens hatch! This chicks in the picture are from Mrs. Rice's class. She came in on Friday morning to find four little furry friends waiting for her in the incubator with one more pecking its way out of its shell. The students were so excited and anxiously await the arrival of their next group of feathered friends...some ducklings!

Please mark your calendar for the school board forum that will be on April 4th @ 6:30p.m. in the HS gym. Please come and meet the candidates and be informed before you cast your vote.

3rd grade students took advantage of a beautiful spring day on Wednesday and went outside with Elementary Counselor Mrs. Abbie McKitrick to write positive messages on the sidewalk outside of the Elementary school main doors. As you can see by the pictures, they did a great job! Unfortunately, 24 hours later elementary students were building snowmen at recess, and some of the awesome, positive messages were washed away, but that is spring time in Montana I guess! Great job 3rd graders and thank you for your efforts in spreading positive energy and messages!

Elementary students out enjoying the spring snow storm! I love the teamwork between students and staff out there building snowmen. The kids also know who to recruit to get the final piece (the head portion) put on the snowman. It helps when you have a teacher who is over 6' tall on recess duty - thank you Mrs. Klein!

The high school student council collected money today to donate to a local person who is fighting cancer. Students in grades 6-12 were able to wear pajamas, hats, and bring coffee for a dollar each. Overall they collected $527. Great job student council and Ennis students!

The Kindergarteners took a trip to the Ennis National Fish Hatchery yesterday and learned all about what the staff does out there to be able to grow thousands of fish to stock rivers and lakes here and around the country. Thank you to the wonderful hatchery staff for taking the time to show our students around!

The school board reviewed the American Rescue Plan and the Safe Return to school Plan last night at the school board meeting on February 12th, 2024. These plans were on the agenda for stakeholder input and the board decided to not make any changes to the plans at this time.. These plans were a result of our response to Covid and the ESSER money we were allocated. Please call the school if you have any questions!
