In the spirit of Basketball March Madness, Mrs. Schultz' 3rd grade class is doing a “Tournament of Books." Students had fun filling out a bracket to see which book will win. Everyday they will read two books from the bracket, students vote for their favorite and that book moves on in the bracket. It’s been so fun and something that they all look forward to each day!

Another successful Science Fair is in the Books!
On Monday, January 31 our K-8 students participated in the annual science fair. There were a lot of creative and interesting projects. Sophie Rogers, our high school science teacher, is the Science Fair coordinator. We had over 40 volunteers from the community here to judge, run the scoring table, help with organization, etc. The amazing community of Ennis gave out close to $3,000 in special prizes. Great job to all involved!
A huge shoutout to the Ennis Mustang Speech, Drama, and Debate Team for being the Southern C Divisional Champions!! The following is from the coach:
"(Overall Season) Our Speech and Drama Team has worked hard over the season. Most of our kids have placed at the meets we've attended. Our first meet was a large AA school meet in East Helena where our team took 3rd place for Class C schools in both Speech and Drama. The following meet was in Boulder where the team took first place in both Speech and Drama. We placed 2nd for these categories at the Townsend meet right before Christmas. While the team was small due to illness, we still managed to take first place for Class C in Drama at Billings Lockwood. This past weekend was Divisionals in Manhattan where our team took first place in Drama. While the events are individual events, the scores are compiled from the students that place at the meet. These points make up our team score. We are so proud of the kids for their individual work, but also their support of each other. It takes a team to encourage and uplift. We had two new students join right before Christmas break and it was fun to see them grow during their time on the team."
Please join us at the Ennis Schools Open House that is scheduled for Saturday, January 22nd from 1-3pm. Just meet at the High School lobby located at the south end of the campus near the horse statues. Coffee and cookies will be served! We will give a facility tour so folks can gather more information information prior to the February bond election.
