Ellsworth Elementary School
Activities and Clubs Overview
Ellsworth prides itself on the wide array of activities provided for our students. While some activities are limited to specific grade levels, research has shown that students participating in extra-curricular activities achieve higher scores on standardized testing.
Throughout the school year, students will have the opportunity to participate in the before/after school activities. Below is a sampling of ones that are offered.
Ellsworth Chess Club
Chess is more than a game, it teaches important skills in life, like strategizing, planning, decision making, patience, honor, self control, discipline, sportsmanship and problem solving! Chess Club teaches the rules of Chess. Strategies are learned and practiced.
Ellsworth Running Club
Meets Spring and Fall. Running Club promotes a healthy lifestyle through exercise. Fun runs are held during the season.
Ellsworth Schoolwide Book Club
Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader. And it is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With the Ellsworth Schoolwide Book Club, we aim to build a community of readers at our school. Everyone - students, parents, teachers, even administrative staff - participate, and we can all reap the many benefits.
Ellsworth Student Council
This organization focus is on community building activities such as organizing food drives and book collections. The students learn about the democratic system when 5th grade leaders are selected through an election process. The mission of this club is to encourage and provide an opportunity for all Ellsworth students to become community contributors.
