On October 24, the Ellsworth School Department community gathered for a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser that put the power of coming together for a cause on full display. The event raised an incredible $1,961 to support one of our middle school students brave battle with leukemia.
From the first plate served to the last donation collected, the evening was filled with generosity, laughter, and heartfelt connection. Families, staff, and neighbors joined forces to show that when one of us is facing a challenge, we all stand together.
The success of the evening was made possible thanks to the many hands behind the scenes. Student volunteers pitched in with energy and enthusiasm, while Ellsworth staff members donated goods for the dinner and gave their free time to help serve, organize, and support the event. Their efforts turned the supper into more than just a meal—it became a true community celebration.
The funds raised will go directly toward supporting the student and their family during this difficult time. Beyond the financial impact, the event highlighted the unwavering spirit of Ellsworth: when we gather around the table, we create hope.
