Last ELC Panda Press of the Year! Have a great summer! We will miss those moving onto Kindergarten and will see the returning ELC students on September 6th for PreK Orientation! https://www.smore.com/n7cxa


I want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to Nicholas Gray and Green Friends, Inc.! They did a cleanout around the school grounds and retrieved 2 shopping carts and 6 bags of debris from the trails and area behind the school.
They had an unexpected helper as well! There was a momma Snapping Turtle laying her eggs in the playground mulch. Don't worry, they called the Audubon Society about this and they explained that we should leave the eggs be, so hopefully they will stay undisturbed until the fall.





Today was a hot one! Only 5 more days of PreK for our AM Session and 4 more days for our PM Session! I can't believe how fast this year has flown! Next week is our final weekly newsletter of the 2022-2023 school year. Please enjoy the latest edition of the ELC Panda Press! https://www.smore.com/qmwde


Happy Saturday to our ELC families and Staff!
Yesterday was such a busy day that the newsletter had to be put on the backburner. The Fun Run was a success! The ELC came in second of all the grades for raising funds! We are so appreciative! Remember that there is no school on Monday! Remember that sunscreen! It looks like a sunny week ahead so remember to put sunscreen on your students before you send them to school. I hope you all enjoy this weekend and remember those who have fought for our freedom and the reason why we have the long weekend. Enjoy this week's version of the ELC Panda Press. https://www.smore.com/ub4h2z

Good Morning ELC families!
I hope you are enjoying your day off today! First and foremost I would like to thank all the staff members for their hardwork and dedication to the ELC students. Today marks the end of Teacher Appreciation week but we all know that we appreciate them everyday! Thank you to the PTO for supporting the ELC staff and students! They are purchasing popsicles for our students next week and have provided staff with little tokens of appreciate throughout the week. Just a reminder as it is getting warmer and sunnier to put sunscreen on your students prior to them attending school so they don't get burnt while on the playground and especially during their field day next week!
