Site work begins this week at the site of the new elementary school in Ellsworth -- a day many in the district have been waiting for.
The school district invited staff, community members, village and township officials, parents and students to a groundbreaking ceremony Monday, Sept. 12. The event was well-attended.
One new elementary school will house all 4-year-old kindergarten through grade five students along with administrative offices “not to exceed” a cost of $31.9 million. The building will be able to house 800 students comfortably. It will be located near the high school and the existing Hillcrest Elementary School, with access off Piety Street.
