I would like to take this opportunity to commend the behavior of your Ellsworth boys’ basketball teams, coaching staff and spectators, both adults and students, at the contest last Friday evening, Jan. 23, at our school. Not only were your players and fans excellent representatives of both your school district and community, they also displayed very positive sportsmanship during the course of the entire evening. I would also like to express our appreciation to the many adult fans who stopped as they exited the gymnasium that evening to compliment our band director on the performance of our pep band. Mr. Carlson, our band director, was very appreciative of the very nice round of applause offered by the Ellsworth spectators at the conclusion of the National Anthem. When these types of positive efforts occur I believe it is important that they be acknowledged and that people understand how much these acts are appreciated. Thank you, your team, coaching staff and spectators for demonstrating what the true spirit of high school athletics is about. Keep up the good work! Your school district and community should be very proud. Palmer Anderson, Supt.Lakeview School District #2167
