SAY CHEESE..again! LECE Picture Retake Days are October 22 and October 23 at both the ECE Center and ECE West. Pictures will begin at 9:00 am and wrap up by 3pm. The office does not have a list of families who want their student's pictures retaken, so be sure to communicate with your classroom teachers to make sure they know you want a retake. There is no set schedule for Retake Days, so staff will bring students down for pictures in the gym/Action Room as the class schedule allows.

Thursday, October 24, is Jumpstart’s Read for the Record Day!
Did you know that Jumpstart’s Read for the Record is the world’s largest shared reading experience? Each year, Jumpstart’s reading day celebrates early literacy and the importance of early language and social-emotional development, as well as raising awareness of the importance for all young children to have access to inclusive and high quality books. Over the past 19 years, more than 28 million people have participated in Read for the Record and ECE Flyers have been among those millions!
This year’s book selection is Piper Chen Sings, co-authored by award-winning actress and singer Phillipa Soo and Maris Pasquale Doran and illustrated by Qin Leng. This is a story of self-expression, overcoming self-doubt, and the ways family relationships can support us.
“We hope the themes of building confidence and embracing family history to navigate challenges in Piper Chen Sings will inspire, connect, and empower young children and adults all year long.” - Jumpstart
Check out the link Piper Chen Sings Read Aloud with the Authors to read this book with your ECE Flyer at home!

During the month of October, we will be engaged in service learning through our annual food drive. Service learning occurs when students experience the act of serving others while learning academic and social emotional content. Each year, our school partners with the Carondelet Community Betterment Federation to host a non-perishable food drive. As we collect items, we will be learning how our donations can help others in need. We will also incorporate the foods and the process of collection into our curriculum. For example, counting and sorting items, "reading" the labels to increase language and literacy skills, learning about healthy foods, etc. We hope you will help us collect food for families in need.
Students can bring their items with them to class and we will help them place the items in our collection bins.
November 14, 6:00 PM
