EC's Birthday is this week... | |
We are excited to celebrate our school's founding this Friday, September 15 (the actual date is September 17, 1947). In celebration of our 76th Birthday and KC's too, all faculty, staff, and students received a t-shirt to wear this Friday. If you did not receive your t-shirt today, please check with your homeroom teacher or me, Ms. Cunningham, and we will make sure you receive one. It is important that everyone remembers to wear this t-shirt on FRIDAY, as we will be gathering for our annual group photo!
Parents and guardians, check out the opportunity below to win VIP parking spots for your students.
Fall seems to have arrived early. Get outside and enjoy!
