Science Fair! It was great to see all of the awesome projects that students completed for the Science Fair this year. The fair took place on Monday, February 3rd. Judging took place during the day, with awards taking place Monday evening. Thank you to the countless people who make the Science Fair possible, from the staff who organize the event, to the teachers who help students come up with and put together projects, to the parents who help students do their experiments, to the many volunteers who help judge and coordinate fair day, to the people who donate food, and to the organizations who give out awards. Most importantly, we thank the students for their hard work and for showing us the incredible ideas they come up with. The Science Fair is a lot of work for a lot of people, but what the students learn in terms of the thought and work that goes into the Scientific process and learning to speak/present to other people is well worth it. Great job students!
School will run on a normal schedule for Monday, February 3rd. All bus routes will also run as scheduled. We are closely monitoring the weather and will keep you informed if there are any changes.
Little Mustangs in action! It's been great to see the future of Ennis basketball coming in on Friday mornings to learn about basketball and hone their basketball skills and fundamentals. Close to 100 kindergarten through 5th grade students have been coming in each Friday. Thank you to The High School Basketball players and coaches for helping to mentor our younger students and players!
Happy 100th Day of School! Students celebrated the 100th day of school by dressing up like they were 100 years old. It was a ton of fun to see the great outfits!
