Little Lancers Lowdown
“Where Learners are Grown with Pride!”
May 2023
Dear Little Elba Lancer Families,
I'm not sure about all of you, but April sure flew by. We are heading into the busy time of year with field trips, in-school activities, and finally graduations and ceremonies! And hopefully, soon we will experience some warmer spring weather.
Before we get to all of the end-of-year events, we will be celebrating Teacher and Staff Appreciation the week of May 8th - 12th. Feel free to encourage your child to write a handwritten note, draw a picture, or even just say thank you to their teachers and staff to recognize all of the great things they do on a daily basis. I'm sure you all know this, but our Elba teachers and staff are amazing!
Our building is beginning to plan for all of these end-of-the-year events and as they are finalized, more information will be sent home. Below, in this newsletter, you will find information about the upcoming Loved Ones Luncheon. We are very excited to see our students' Loved Ones joining us for lunch, visiting the Art Show, and if you are a district resident, voting at the Annual Budget Vote on May 16th.
Each month we continue to celebrate our collective successes this school year and you will notice below a picture snapshot of what has been happening here in the Elementary during the month of April. As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns!
With Lancer Pride,
Jessica Cramer
Elementary Principal
Loved Ones Luncheon
The Elementary Student Council is excited for you to join us for our annual Loved Ones Luncheon. This year we will be having a Farmer’s Market Picnic. Please bring a blanket or a lawn chair, or if you would prefer not to sit on the ground, there will be some outdoor seating. However, the cafeteria will be reserved for those who may have difficulty navigating outside to eat. In case of inclement weather, we will have an alternate location to eat inside. We hope you will join us on Tuesday, May 16th for lunch, explore the Art Show and vote for the Annual Budget Vote.
Our Cafeteria staff is preparing a picnic menu for us to enjoy. The menu includes a choice of Uncrustable (PBJ), Turkey and Cheese Sub, or Ham and Cheese Sub. All sandwiches will include milk, fruit, chips, and a cookie. Each meal costs $6 for adults. Payment is due the day of, at the cash register. Exact amounts are appreciated and checks can be made payable to ECS.
All students will be receiving an RSVP form to return to the elementary office so that we can plan accordingly for this day. Please return by Friday, May 5th. If you have any questions, please contact the Elementary Office at (585) 757-9967 ext. 1600.
