Good Morning E.L.M. Families,

SNOW DAY! It's good to see that most students and staff are back to school and getting healthy again. We have a short week next week with a half day on Thursday and no school on Friday to start our holiday break. Let's hope that the time away from one another will help to alleviate some of the spread of illness.
