🌟🐦 Huge shoutout to Val for helping our 4K students make pinecone bird feeders yesterday! It was the perfect way to wrap up our Winter Animals unit.
Val showed the kids pictures of different birds and feeders, and explained how tough it can be for birds to find food in winter. Each student took one home, and we even made extras for school!
Thanks, Val, for such a fun and educational day! 🌲❄️ #WinterFun #LittleBirdHelpers

☀️❄️ Snow much fun at Ettrick Elementary! ❄️☀️
The students were all smiles this week as the temps warmed up just enough to enjoy some snowy adventures. Snow angels, snowmen, and so many giggles—it’s safe to say winter fun is in full swing! ⛄️✨
Come join us!
On the evening of January 8, 2025, four 5th grade students participated in the annual Trempealeau County Conservation Speaking Contest. Students researched and wrote 3-5 minute speeches that they presented in front of a 3-person panel in the Trempealeau County Board Room in Whitehall. All four competed in the elementary division for 5th and 6th graders. All 4 students performed very well and made it very hard for the judges to determine a winner. In the end, the results were as follows:
1st: Sophie Schaefer (6th Grade)—"Root for Change: We Need Trees!"
2nd: Lillian Triana (5th Grade)—"Bee Aware!"
3rd: Annalise Tabbert (5th Grade)—"The Little Monster" (emerald ash borer)
4th: Jett Leffelman (5th Grade)—"A Quarter Century of CWD in Wisconsin"
5th: Jessica Kitchner (5th Grade)—"Decrease in Butterflies in Our Area"
Congratulations to all participants!
Ettrick Elementary has been overflowing with joy! This week has been filled with dress-up days, a door decorating contest, a candy cane delivery from the Ettrick Lions Club, and even Buddy the Elf made an appearance!
