Ellis Middle School will host our spring fundraiser, the 2025 Ellis Cougar Classic, on February 14th-16th. Cougar Classic is Ellis Middle School’s largest fundraiser, which includes an indoor soccer tournament for teams all over Middle Tennessee, and a lot of fun school activities for students during the month of February! Friday night, February 14th is Cougar Student Night where Ellis students have an opportunity to play on a “fun” soccer team and/or come cheer on their friends that are participating! Throughout the rest of the weekend, area teams compete in an exciting indoor soccer tournament in our infamous round gymnasium.
Here are just a few of the items that the Ellis PTO has funded with proceeds from this and other fundraising efforts:
Fine Arts Funding Support
Ellis Athletic Programs
Above and Beyond Curriculum Materials (additional teacher start-up funds)
Faculty/Staff Hospitality
Facility Upgrades and Summer Painting
