🎓 Once A Spud, Always A Spud 🎓 Watching our seniors walk the halls of Ellen Hopkins Elementary one last time was a moment we won’t forget. Years ago, they were the little kids looking up to the seniors. Today, they are the ones doing the inspiring. 🧡🤍🖤 We are so proud of our Class of 2026 Spuds! Oh how the time flies. 🥹 Check out our Instagram (@hopkinsspuds) to see the video!
The "Purr-fect" Day! Big thanks to our amazing paraprofessional, Bahia, for adding a little extra magic (and some whiskers) to our afternoon! There’s nothing like a little face paint to make a school day feel like a special occasion. 🎨🌈
Mrs. Jenson’s classroom transformed into a mission control center as students embarked on a thrilling space walk through the hallways. Decked out in their creative homemade astronaut hats, the young explorers navigated the "galaxy" while stopping to discuss the different planets along their path. 🚀🪐🧑🚀🌍🌌
Twinning Tuesday! 💕

Our 3rd grade gardeners in Mrs. Tareski’s class were thrilled to discover that their garlic is officially waking up! 🧄 The class spent a sunny afternoon tending to the beds and preparing the soil for a successful spring. It was a rewarding day of outdoor learning, proving that hard work really does pay off, one sprout at a time. 🌱
Congratulations on Nelcious and Jack for being our 2025-26 recipients of the Jan Welken Memorial grant. Recipients are chosen based on their positive attitude, outstanding effort, and sportsmanship during physical education classes. They consistently demonstrate respect, responsibility, and safety in the gym and display Spud Pride throughout the school. WAY TO GO!!! 👏🏼🧡☝🏽
Speed, determination, and a whole lot of teamwork. So proud of this coed relay crew! 🏃♂️🏃♀️

Mrs. Arness wanted to share a major shoutout for Mrs. Lewis, who is a paraprofessional at Ellen Hopkins! "Mrs. Lewis goes above and beyond. She has not missed a single day of work. She shows up every single day with a smile helping all students. She helped run a reading group and has been absolutely phenomenal with all of the students. We are very lucky to have Mrs. Lewis and we presented her with this award and her favorite candy bar today." 🧡
Rudy got to take a sweet picture with his mom while she scooted around with her 🍭sugar shack 🍬 for teacher appreciation!
The Most Popular Books in the Building! Step into our library during choice time, and you’ll likely find a group of students gathered around a Guinness World Record book. These books have become a favorite "social reading" experience, where students share amazing facts and debate the world’s wildest records with their friends. We love seeing them so deeply engaged in non-fiction and excited to share their "did you know?" moments with everyone they meet!
Kindergarten is having a BLAST at the Red River Zoo today! 🦁🦒🦓🐒
Ms. Nelson’s third graders have officially developed their green thumbs! The class got their hands dirty with a special planting activity, learning exactly what it takes to help a living thing thrive. 🌿🌱
