Ashley Read '05, Head of Early Childhood


April 28, 2023

Dear Parents,

      Each day after morning announcements, our students gathered in the Big Room to share about bike safety and how we can help raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Our annual ECC Trike - a- Thon was a huge success! Students clipped on their helmets, made it to the start line, and peddled away as they showed parents and loved ones what they learned about bike safety. To date, we have raised $2,444, surpassing our goal of $1,200. You can still donate through tomorrow, April 29, 2023. St. Jude has helped push the childhood cancer survival rate from less than 20% when they opened to 80% today. Thank you for your donations to help St. Jude’s cause to end childhood cancer. 

     With just four weeks left of school, summer is inching up on us. As you plan out your summer details, save a spot for Owl Camp and Sports Camp. Register now to ensure your child gets a spot!

Sincerely,

Ashley

Join us Friday, May 5, for an evening of performances, exhibits, food, and fun as we celebrate our scholar artists. A variety of performances will be shared throughout the evening, starting at 5 p.m. and concluding at 8:30 p.m. Students from every division will be represented.
We will have inflatables, games in the quad, and food for purchase. Fine Arts Night is a fun come-and-go event for the entire family. We hope to see you there!
