On April 25, students from Ellis, along with Mr. C, participated in a CTECS music festival held at Norwich Tech. They joined a group of 100 singers from 6 different Tech schools for a day of rehearsing with a director from UCONN, Dr. Cara Bernard, and performed a concert in the evening. The event was even catered by the Norwich Tech culinary department. Junior, Aiden Nadeau, was even chosen for a solo at the festival. Students had a great day of music, food and fun!!! Dr. Kaiser and our Superintendent Dr. Lowe were both in attendance at the concert as well. Looking forward to bringing even more students next year!!!
A friendly reminder that our Ellis Tech tumbler, water bottle, and travel mug fundraiser is still active! We encourage all students to participate! Proceeds will go towards individual class dues AND class accounts. The more a student sells, the less they have to pay out of pocket for class dues AND the more money their class receives for planning special events and activities! Use the link below to place your order today! The deadline to order is Tuesday, May 28th! Cash or check fundraiser payments are being collected by class officers in the cafeteria during all lunch waves.

Ellis Alumni: Wishing you had a copy of your yearbook? Ellis has extra copies of yearbooks from as far back as 1960! We have a few copies for most years between 1960 and 2018. If you are an Ellis alumni, and want a year, book stop by (after school if possible) and ask for Dr. Kaiser or Mr. Lamontagne.
Congratulations to our 2024 Teacher of the Year, Mr. Sorel! Mr. Sorel has been at Ellis since 2021.
When given this honor by his colleagues, Mr. Sorel said “It is with immense honor and humility that I accept this prestigious recognition. This acknowledgment is not only a testament to my dedication and passion for teaching but also a reflection of the support and encouragement I have received from my colleagues, students, and the administration here at Ellis Tech.
Teaching has always been more than just a profession for me; it is a calling, a vocation that I approach with unwavering commitment and enthusiasm every single day. I firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of a brighter future, and I am deeply committed to empowering and inspiring the next generation.
Receiving the Teacher of the Year award is both humbling and motivating. It serves as a reminder of the importance of excellence in education and the impact that educators can have on the lives of their students. I am grateful for the opportunity to represent our school and our dedicated faculty members who work tirelessly to create an environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
As I reflect on this honor, I am reminded of the countless individuals who have influenced and shaped my journey as an educator. From my mentors who have guided me along the way to my students who continually inspire me with their curiosity and determination, I am indebted to each and every one of them.
Once again, thank you for this incredible honor. I am truly grateful for the recognition and the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of our students.”
Ellis Tech is so lucky to have Mr. Sorel be a part of our staff.
Today is Administrative Professionals Day, and this day recognizes and celebrates the work of secretaries, administrative assistants and other office professionals for their contributions to the workplace. We are so blessed to have the best administrative assistants here at Ellis!!!
Thank you- Linda, Cheryl, Lisa, Kathy, Cindy and Shelby! YOU ROCK!!!!!
