Today was all about brainpower and a little bit of friendly competition! We spent our time diving into some awesome puzzles and face-offs in the game Trouble. The dice were popping, the competition was fierce, and a huge congratulations goes out to Mason, our official Trouble tournament champion! 🏆 Let the good times roll!

Dear Parents and Students,

The Belleville Middle Schools Winter Guard is excited to offer our Junior High Color Guard Camp from June 22–25, held daily from 10:30 AM to 12:00 Noon.

This camp is designed for students who are interested in learning the fundamental skills necessary to spin a flag and become a member of an organized color guard (flag team). Instruction will be geared toward beginners and developing performers, helping students build a strong foundation in equipment handling, movement, and performance techniques.

A brief demonstration showcasing what students have learned will take place at the conclusion of camp on Thursday, June 25. The performance will be held on the Central Terrace (center courtyard) of Belleville East High School's campus, or in the Gym Annex in the event of inclement weather.

Camp Cost

$90 – Students who need camp equipment provided
$60 – Students who already have their own equipment
Checks should be made payable to the Junior Lancers Winter Guard.

Eligibility
Camp is open to any rising 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student who lives within the attendance boundaries of a feeder school for either Belleville East High School or Belleville West High School.

We look forward to introducing students to the exciting world of color guard and helping them develop new skills, confidence, and friendships throughout the week.

🎓☀️ That’s a wrap on an amazing school year at Ellis Elementary! We celebrated our incredible third graders as they head off to their next destination at Harmony. We are so proud of all the growth, laughter, and memories made this year! 💙✨

And while we’re sending our third graders on to new adventures… we’re also sending off Mrs. Hettenhausen into retirement! We’re pretty sure her homework now includes sleeping in, relaxing, and never hearing the words “Is this graded?” ever again. 😂🍎💼➡️🏖️

Wishing all of our students, families, and Mrs. H a summer filled with fun, sunshine, and adventure. Have a safe and wonderful summer break! 🌈🍉📚
