Dear ELC Families,

What a Week!

We had such a fun week at the ELC! The children enjoyed lots of "ice" skating activities that culminated in our exciting Super Friends parade and a wonderful storytelling performance by Big Joe!

Looking Ahead

We have a shortened week coming up—please note that the ELC will be closed on Friday, February 13th. We also have some fun spirit days planned to send us into February break with a smile!

Parking Reminders

As winter weather continues, we appreciate your cooperation with parking procedures:

Please park on side streets and walk up to drop off and pick up your students

Park on one side of the street only when snow is present

Do not block any driveways—our neighbors need access to their homes

Follow the no-parking zones indicated on the map provided

These measures ensure emergency vehicles can access our building safely

Thank you for respecting our neighbors and keeping our community safe!

Go Patriots! 🏈

Sincerely,

Frank Rich, Principal

Meghan Thomson, Assistant Principal
