October 14

Dear Early Learning Center Families,

We hope families enjoyed the extra time at home with each other. We are thankful for all of the ELC students and families. We are excited to have students back today!

Last Tuesday we had our Pom Reward, Character Dress Up Day. Such a great day to share about favorite characters. The students at the ELC continue to Be Safe, Be Kind and Be Responsible.

Cold weather is upon us and it’s important for students to dress accordingly during this time of the year. We will be going outside as long as it’s dry and temperatures with wind chills remain above 20 degrees. Please label coats, mittens, gloves, hats so that we can return misplaced items to the rightful owner.

Lunch Menu Change

Starting this week, there is a change to the Lunch Menu. Wednesday's entree will now be Taco in a Bag. Please see the ELC lunch menu here.

Lost and Found

Please check the lost and found and encourage your child to do the same as it is full of items found around the building and on the playground. All unclaimed/unlabeled items will be cleared out during winter break.

The ELC is Thankful!
