From the Principal's Desk
Dear EACS Parents,
I am so excited about these next few weeks of school as we count down to winter break! As I travel throughout our community, the lights and holiday decorations are setting the mood for giving, joy, and thanksgiving. I hope that each of you are planning to have so much fun with family and friends.
We have some very exciting school activities in the upcoming months. Some even sponsored by our PTO. Please check out their section below to get more details!
Let's continue to soar high as the holidays approach. Attendance, giving 100% attention and participation, and being kind to others will carry us a long way!
Have the most amazing week!
Your Principal,
Lynn Mills
