Greetings Ellington Community, I hope this letter finds you well and that you've had a wonderful week so far. If not, remember that every new week brings fresh opportunities for growth and success, so let's approach the upcoming days with determination to make them even better than the last. Last week was truly eventful here at Ellington, as our halls were filled with love and celebration for Valentine's Day. The Visual Arts Department organized a delightful array of treats and goodies for sale, including sweet treats, bracelets, candy grams, and origamis. Additionally, we enjoyed special student performances and embraced the spirit of Valentine's Day with festive attire, all while continuing our commemoration of Black History Month.

Looking ahead, we have an exciting lineup planned for the upcoming week starting February 20. We're thrilled to announce our Black History Month Spirit Week! Please take a moment to check out the flyer in the Student Affairs Updates & Opportunities Section for details on each day's theme. Let's come together as a community to honor and celebrate the rich history and contributions of Black Americans. Furthermore, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to each and every Ellington student recognized in the Honors Assembly this past week. Their dedication, hard work, and commitment to excellence have truly paid off, and we couldn't be prouder of their academic and artistic accomplishments. |
