EEMS Athletics Update: All sports: Athletes will need to sign up for fall sports in the middle school gym sometime during the school day. When they sign up, they also need to take a permission packet which needs to be returned to Mr. Downs prior to their first tryout/practice. An annual physical is also required for participation. Cross Country: The first cross-country practice is this Thursday, September 1, from 2:45-4:00 PM for all interested students in grades 5-8. Runners are to pick up permission forms on the first day of school so that the forms can be signed and brought to practice on Thursday. Permission forms are to be picked up in the gym at any time during the day. Runners should wear clothing and footwear comfortable for running. It's recommended to bring a filled water bottle. Coaches Mr. Newett and Mrs. Bland are looking forward to a great season. Further practices will be discussed at Thursday's practice. Soccer: A final kick around will be hosted Thursday after school from 3-4:30 for both boys and girls soccer players. This is not a requirement for joining the school teams but rather just a way for players to get back into a soccer mindset while reconnecting with other players and their coaches. School soccer team tryouts will be on 9/6, 9/7, and 9/8 if needed. Tryout times will be posted here and also announced at school. If there are any questions, please reach out to Mr. Downs at mdowns@ellsworthschools.org

Attention 6th-8th grade boys and girls interested in playing soccer this fall for EEMS: The soccer coaches are holding some kick arounds that are geared towards skill development and refinement. These kick arounds will also allow players a chance to get back into the swing of soccer and also allow the coaches a chance to reconnect with players. Making the school soccer team is not connected with attending the kick arounds. The kick arounds will be from 3-430, please arrive to pick up on time or have another plan in place. We will meet rain or shine, out on the outfield of the baseball field at EEMS.  Girls' soccer will meet on the following dates: 8/15, 8/17, 8/22, and 8/24. Boys' soccer will meet on the following dates: 8/16, 8/17, 8/23, and 8/25. Players should at least be dressed to move (t-shirt, athletic shorts, socks and sneakers). Soccer cleats, shin guards and soccer socks and a mouth guard would be better, but not necessary for the kick arounds. Players should also bring a filled water bottle.  If there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Downs at mdowns@ellsworthschools.org if there are any questions.

We are excited to announce that we are transitioning to a new model of delivering Title IA services to our students at Ellsworth Elementary Middle School. We are applying to become a schoolwide program where our Title IA grant funds will be able to support all teachers and students in K-8 reading and math classrooms. In designing and implementing the schoolwide plan, a school can implement strategies that: "(1) provide opportunities for all children to meet challenging State academic standards; (2) use methods and instructional strategies that strengthen the academic program in the school, increase the amount and quality of learning time, and help provide an enriched and accelerated curriculum, which may include programs, activities, and courses necessary to provide a well-rounded education; and (3) address the needs of all students, but particularly those at risk of not meeting challenging State academic standards. " (ESEA section 1114(b)(7)(A)). Please let us know if you have any questions or comments at rkohrmanramos@ellsworthschools.org.

BLUE HILL PENINSULA SUMMER YOUTH TRACK This youth track program is open to children throughout the Peninsula, from those about to enter kindergarten to those who have just graduated 8th grade. Absolute beginners are welcome, as are experienced athletes. Children can participate in a wide range of track and field activities, including running, hurdling, relays, race-walking, jumps (high, long, triple) and throws (discus, shot and turbo javelin). The program is coached by GSA track coaches David Stearns and Isaac Vaccaro and GSA track and field athletes. The season is from late June to early August. Starting on June 21, the club will meet for practices Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, 5:30 – 6:30, at the Blue Hill Consolidated School. The club will compete in a series of four or five regional track meets in greater Bangor on Thursday afternoons beginning on June 3. Many athletes also participate through the state-wide championship meet in early August. While most athletes participate in the full season and in the meets, some participate for only part of the season due to family commitments, or attend practices only without competing. The club operates under the supervision of the USATF and the Blue Hill Town Rec Department. Please contact David Stearns at d.stearns@georgestevens.org or 266-5589 if you are interested and to get more detailed information, including costs and registration information.
