Dear ELC Families,

We are excited to welcome our families this Thursday, October 9th, for Welcome Back Night!

• AM Session Families: 5:30 – 6:15 PM

• PM Session Families: 6:30 – 7:15 PM

Please enter through Door 1, where staff will be ready to greet you and guide you to your child’s classroom.

An RSVP form was sent home last week—please return it to your child’s teacher so we know who to expect.

✨ Thank you to all the families who have donated so far for our Harvest Fest basket raffles! We now have plenty of Arts & Crafts items. If you are still looking to contribute, our other theme is Bedtime. Donations are completely voluntary. If you would like to bring a donation to Welcome Back Night, you may drop it off at the ELC Office.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Frank Rich, Principal

Meghan Thomson, Assistant Principal

This Morning and afternoon, TES & ELC staff celebrated an underground spirit day (shoutout to a certain Mastermind pop icon's new album 👀). Sparkles? ✅ Bejeweled! Friendship bracelets? ✅ You Belong With Me vibes! A hilarious "Shake It Off" challenge? ✅✅ Fearless energy! We're living in Daylight and feeling Golden! This Lavender Haze of positivity is exactly what we needed. 💙 The Story of Us looks like joy, creativity, and community. State of Grace: Our staff knows how to Begin Again each day with fresh energy! Dear Reader, if your child mentions the festivities, now you know we had a Wonderland kind of day! This isn't just Style - it's substance. Happy staff = happy classrooms = The Best Day for everyone! ✨ Thanks to TES Assistant Principal, Mrs. Desautel for the wording and the underground spirit day inspiration!

Happiest of birthdays to Michael K., Benny F., Liliana T., Adriana P., Amy S., Olivia T., and Gabe G. They shared their birthday week with Ms. Lisa B., Ms. Lauren, and Ms. Tina!
