What an amazing week to be a part of the ELC school family! There are still ways for your family to contribute to our Under the Sea theme!

• Chalk is available for everyone to draw pictures or write messages on our front sidewalks!
• Each staff member has a bag in our front lobby for anyone to drop notes or small tokens into throughout the week for the staff member to receive on Friday

And of course staff appreciation is never complete without a SPIRIT WEEK! Tomorrow is "Favorite Sea Creature Day"!

Family Rocks!

If your family did not have the opportunity to paint a rock at the stay & play, we have set up a space for you to do so! This family rock station is in our second school age classroom and is available now through Thursday, May 14th.

This classroom is located between the preschool playground door and gym entrance on the preschool side of the building. Look for signage to guide you there! In the classroom, you will find all you need to create a rock including rocks, paint, paintbrushes, and instructions. The completed rocks will remain at the ELC, and soon you’ll be able to see them each morning as you walk into our building—a lasting reminder of our community spirit.

Please note: We ask that families that already painted a rock not create an additional rock – we only have supplies for one rock per family!
