🐝 Spelling Bee Fever at Ettrick Elementary! 🐝
The competition was fierce (and full of correctly placed vowels!) in our 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade classrooms last week as we hosted our classroom Spelling Bees. We are so impressed by the courage and focus our Red Hawks showed!
📸 Featured below: Our classroom winners and runners-up! Give them a "thumbs up" for their hard work and stellar spelling skills.
But the "buzz" doesn't stop here! The winners have officially qualified for the Ettrick Elementary 3-5th School-Wide Spelling Bee this coming Thursday!

Last Friday, Ettrick Elementary was buzzing with excitement as we celebrated Environmental Day! Our students spent the day connecting with nature, learning from experts, and appreciating the beautiful world around us.
The morning was filled with hands-on learning at our outdoor stations. A huge thank you to the local community members, our talented G-E-T FFA students, and the team from Happy Dancing Turtle for sharing their passion and knowledge with our Red Hawks! 🐢✨
After lunch, we had a very special "in-house" presentation. One of our own 3rd graders, Wyatt, teamed up with his dad, Timothy, to teach us all about Raising Trout. It was wonderful to see our students and families sharing their expertise with one another! 🐟
We wrapped up our day in the best way possible—at the School Forest! From creating beautiful sun prints and reading under the canopy of trees to exploring the trails on a group hike, it was a day to remember.
Thank you to everyone who made this day a success. Our Red Hawks are truly learning what it means to care for our community and our Earth! 🌎💚
We had a very special visitor in our hallways today! Raylin, a G-E-T High School student and member of the National Honor Society, spent the day visiting each of our classrooms to share her love of reading with our younger Red Hawks. 🦅❤️
Raylin read a variety of picture books to the students as part of her inspiring community service project, "Charity for Literacy." It was wonderful to see our students so engaged and to have a high school role model highlighting the importance of literacy and the pure joy of a good book. 📖✨
Thank you, Raylin, for investing your time in our students and for helping us foster a lifelong love for reading at Ettrick!

At Ettrick Elementary, the 4Kers entered Airplane Mood (As Danny Go says) last week and learned about all things transportation! Earlier in the week they went on an airplane ride to the beach with a mid-flight snack included. Then later in the week, they headed to the gym and saw who could throw a plane the farthest!
Our hallways were fluttering with excitement this morning as our 2nd graders hosted a Wisconsin Bird Fair!
After weeks of deep research into our local winged neighbors, students turned into teachers. Visitors were treated to hand drawn posters, colored pictures, taxidermy specimens, and speeches filled with facts.
We are so proud of the hard work and public speaking skills our young Red Hawks displayed today. A huge thank you to the families and community members who stopped by to learn from our students!

☀️ Sun, Snow, and Red Hawk Spirit! ❄️
What a perfect day at Bruce Mound! Our Ettrick Elementary students finally had their chance to hit the tubing hills, and Mother Nature definitely cooperated with beautiful sunshine and the perfect temperature for outdoor play.
This trip was more than just a day of fun—it was a celebration of our students' hard work! This outing was a special reward for our Red Hawks for consistently being Safe, Respectful, and Responsible throughout the first half of the school year. We are so proud of the positive culture our students are building every day.
🙌 A HUGE Thank You to the Ettrick Elementary PTO!

Snow day adjustments? Not at Ettrick Elementary! ❄️ Even though our Bruce Mound field trip was postponed, our Red Hawks proved today that we can find adventure anywhere.

Our 5th Grade Reading class leveled up their literacy game this week with the ultimate "Podcast & Chill" session. Students traded their traditional desks for blankets, snacks, and refreshing drinks while diving into some incredible storytelling.
Listening to podcasts is a fantastic way for our Red Hawks to build critical listening skills, practice visualization, and explore new perspectives—and doing it with a little extra comfort makes it all the more memorable!
Way to go, 5th grade! What a great way to spend class time.

🎒 Future Redhawks in the House!
We had such a wonderful time welcoming our newest learners and their families to Ettrick Elementary last week for our 4K Registration Night & Open House! 🦅❤️
It was so exciting to see the hallways filled with the smiling faces of our future students. Families were able to get a head start on registration forms, tour the 4K classrooms, and meet some of our amazing staff.
One of the highlights of the night was definitely our "Future Red Hawk" photo op! Our incoming students looked absolutely adorable and ready to take on the world. 📸✨
A huge thank you to all the families who joined us. We are already counting down the days until these little Red Hawks officially join our school family this fall!

❤️ Red Hawk Ettrick Community in Action! ❤️
We are so incredibly grateful to share a special new addition to Ettrick Elementary! We recently received a donated locker fully stocked with hygiene items for our students to access whenever they need them.
This project was made possible through the incredible generosity of the Lucas Mack Memorial Bed-races held during Ettrick Days. Thanks to the organizer, Konor Bork, the participants, and the many community donors who contributed, our students have one more way to feel supported and ready to learn every day.
It truly takes a village, and we are so proud to be part of the Ettrick community. Please join us in sharing a huge "Thank You" to everyone who made this possible! 🦅✨

On Wednesday evening, Henrietta and Aspen from Ettrick Elementary participated in the annual Trempealeau County Environmental Speaking contest. Both of them researched and wrote speeches about conservation topics in Wisconsin. They presented their speeches to 3 judges and audience members. Both girls were praised for giving exceptional speeches and both gained valuable knowledge and experience from this event. Congratulations to Henrietta for placing 1st in the 5th - 6th grade division, and to Aspen for placing 2nd in the same division! Henrietta will now compete at the state regional level against other 1st place contestants from other counties. Good luck, Henrietta, and congratulations to both of you! Ettrick Elementary is very proud of your efforts and leadership!

5th grade students at Ettrick Elementary are having a fun competition with their math vocabulary! They are playing a double elimination memory game with their vocabulary words and definitions. A great example of having fun while learning!
Our 4K students got in the holiday spirit at Ettrick Elementary with a comical read aloud, "Fritz the Farting Reindeer Saves Christmas". It was read to them by our 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Guenther, who even brought some props. In addition, this sparked some wonderful learning about maps and all the places Santa has to travel to in one night!
Please join us in giving a huge round of applause to Ettrick Elementary's incredible Second Graders who have successfully written, illustrated, and published their very own class book! 📚
These amazing young writers spent time imagining their lives ahead! Their creativity, hard work, and teamwork shine on every single page.
We are so incredibly proud of their dedication to this project! Keep an eye on these future world-changers—they are already achieving big things!
