A Message from Miss Abi
The ELC will be CLOSED on THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22nd (for weather) and FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23rd. We will have Christmas Break from December 23rd-January 3rd, returning on January 4th.

After we return, please keep your eyes open for information about re-enrollment. The re-enrollment forms will be going out right away after we get back from break. You will have 3 weeks to get your child re-enrolled for program for next year. Registration for new families opens up first thing on February 1st, and if we have spots open then, they will be filled. Please be timely in returning your registration forms, so that we can make sure your child has a spot next year. We appreciate your diligence.

Please take this time off to remember the gift of our Savior Jesus Christ. He is the Lord of Peace, so rest in His peace during this special season. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Blessings to your families! We will see you back here in January!
Thank you for blessing the ELC staff with your generous donations to the Christmas Purse. We are so very grateful to have the opportunity to work with your children. We hope you all have a wonderful holiday season!
Remembering Carolyn Graham
Our long time ELC Para, Carolyn Graham, went home to be with Jesus on Tuesday, December 6th. Carolyn served faithfully alongside children at St. John's for 17 years. Please join us in praying for her family at this difficult time.

There will be a memorial service held here at St. John's on Saturday, January 21st, at 1pm. You may view her obituary here.
Thank you for all the yummy snacks you have blessed our teachers with!

Staff Snacks
 
Every other Friday the PTO would like to get volunteers to bring staff snacks and cool drinks. We will put the individual snacks and drinks out for the teachers, if you will bring them at drop off or pick up! We can't have nuts and due to COVID snacks must be individually packaged. Please see the link below to sign-up for upcoming dates. Thank you all so very much for bringing special treats for the staff! It is so appreciated!
