oneBreakfast with Babas

Our annual Breakfast with Babas event will be this coming Friday, starting at about 8:15am. This event is for fathers of ECC and Montessori students only. In this event, dads have the opportunity to work with their ECC/Montessori children, followed by sharing breakfast together. It is a wonderful event and we encourage all dads to come! If you have a child in multiple classes, please visit with each child in turns. If you have one child in ECC and the other in a Montessori classroom, visit with the Montessori student first as their routine starts sooner than in ECC.
Stop by the hall to donate blood as well!
1st, 2nd, and 3rd Grade Costume Check

On Monday or Tuesday of this week, please have your 1st-3rd grader bring in his/her costume for the Arabic play. The child should not wear the costume to school, but rather bring it in in a bag or on a hanger. Please send in ALL of the costume items, not just a portion of it. Once again, the 1st-3rd grade costume list can be found by the child's name by clicking here

On Monday or Tuesday of this week, please have your 4th-5th grader bring in his/her dress for the spoken word performance. The child should not wear the costume to school, but rather bring it in in a bag or on a hanger.  As stated in previous emails, the dress code for 4th-5th graders is:
  • black or very dark blue jeans 
  • solid white, button down, long sleeve shirt
  • black shoes
  • black socks
We will provide the scarves and fake glasses they will wear on the day of the fundraiser.
two6th and 7th Dress Check

On Monday or Tuesday of this week, please have your 6th-7th grader bring in his/her dress for the emcee roles.

Friday Blood Drive

Our PTA is holding its annual blood drive at the school this coming Friday from 8:30-2:15. Please stop by at arrivals time or come earlier than dismissal time to give blood.
