Principal's Message
Greetings, Ericson Families,
We have an exciting week coming up in preparation for Fall Festival! Thank you to all our volunteers and FOE for creating this wonderful event for our Ericson community. Every year the Fall Festival is a safe and joyful event for everyone and this year will be the same.
Thank you to parents that have responded to our Viking Drop Off Survey to volunteer their time. We are still in need of at least one more parent for Wednesday and then we can open Viking Drop Off to help ease parking and create a safer way for drop off. If you have availability on Wednesday from 7:20-7:40 a.m., please consider volunteering. Here is the link to sign up for Viking Drop Off: https://forms.gle/5W9dBHSG4BSGthkYA
We also have our rescheduled Spirit Assembly on Monday from 7:45 a.m. - 8:15 a.m. Families are welcomed to view as we kick off October with our Leader in Me Habit of the Month focus, celebrate our VIPs, and share any important updates.
We hope you are enjoying a terrific three day weekend. We looking forward to a great week ahead.
With Warm Regards,
Mrs. Ashton and Ms. Luong
