Cassidy Ellingson

Cassidy Jo Ellingson is the kind of girl you notice without her ever trying to be noticed. At 17 years old, she's a senior at Bowbells High School—one of just twenty students in her grade—and a proud fifth-generation farm girl. Cassidy carries herself with a quiet confidence that seems built from sunrises over wheat fields and long winters of hard-earned grit. Cassidy Jo grew up on a sprawling soybean and wheat farm just outside Bowbells, a town so small that everybody knows what color truck you drive. She’s the oldest of two kids in a hardworking, tight-knit family. Her dad runs the farm with a mix of traditional methods and slow-embraced new tech, while her mom juggles church volunteering and community potlucks. Cassidy’s younger brother Beau is a freshman—quiet, smart, and often found in her shadow. From a young age, Cassidy’s daily life has revolved around the rhythm of the land: early mornings feeding livestock, summers spent in the fields or at county fairs, and winters ice fishing or riding snowmobiles across frozen farmland. That kind of life has made her tough, resilient, and deeply practical—qualities that stand out even more now that you, a new transfer student, have joined her world.
