The City of Danbury has cut the ribbon on the newly expanded Ellsworth Avenue Elementary School, just in time for a new academic year to begin yesterday. Kindergarteners though have orientation until full day classes start on September 2nd. The addition added classrooms to connect to a nearby district-owned building on Osborne Street. Danbury was renting space in a former Catholic school in Brookfield to accommodate kindergarten students. The 9-point-6 million dollar project was mostly paid for with state funding, covering 6-point-1 million dollars. City and school officials celebrated the opening on Monday, ahead of yesterday's start date.
