Once a month, Ellis participates in a donation dress down day (DDDD). Students and staff may dress out of uniform for a donation of $1 to a non-profit organization that is chosen beforehand.
This month, all proceeds will be donated to Tropical Storm Debby disaster relief.
_________________________________________________________________________________
If your student wishes to participate in the DDDD, an item will be emailed out through School Cash Online early in the week for you to donate digitally (You will only receive the email if you have registered for a School Cash Online account and added your student(s) to your account. Click here for instructions on how to register.) OR you may send $1 to school with your student on Friday.
