ECC News
November 1st, 2022
November is here! The days are getting cooler (and shorter!) and are filled with so much learning and fun! This month, the ECC's themes include understanding and accepting differences and including others while learning about being thankful. Our staff have filled our 'shout out tree' with reflections on thankfulness here at the ECC. We certainly have much to be thankful for!

The holidays are right around the corner. Each year, we have been able to provide gifts to families in our ECC Community who may have a need (gifts, gas cards, diapers, food card, etc.) If your family could use a little extra this year, please reach out to me at andrea_ostrosky@wrsd.net and I will add you to our Giving Tree list.
