After almost two years, students and staff returned to the new and improved Ellis Elementary on Monday.
During the construction of the new school, which started in June of 2020, students were bused to Hillcrest Elementary School. This week, students were filled with excitement as they found their new school at an old, familiar location.
“It felt a lot like the week leading up to Christmas or summer break,” said Principal Doug Beach. “It felt like the first day of school, but in February.”
