Esten ECC November Family Update
November 2023
Small Steps Toward Big Dreams
As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words! This month, we have a lot to celebrate and share with you through our pictures. Watching our students learn in many ways has been a great joy for us! We were lucky to get support from area businesses and purchase new and exciting playthings for our kids. A big thank you to all our sponsors!
Just a friendly reminder to change the clocks this weekend. As we fall back, the end of the day will seem shorter for the kids as it gets dark outside. However, we will continue providing them with plenty of fresh air during recess and when our new playground is ready. Below, you can see the progress made so far. The last step will be adding the turf surface which will be done shortly!
The FUN RUN was a blast! We want to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Leavitt, our PE teacher, and PAC for coordinating everything. We also want to thank everyone who supported and volunteered at this event. It couldn't have been successful without you all.
The Book Character Parade was so much fun! We enjoyed watching all the costumes go past us as we paraded at the back of the school. You will see a few pictures below.
Finally, we will be sending home information in the next few weeks on how to sign up for a parent teacher conference on Monday, November 20th, and Tuesday, November 21st. These conferences will be held on Monday from 1:00-3:00 and 5:00-7:00 p.m. and on Tuesday from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Each conferences is 10 minutes long.
We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend and enjoys time with family and friends!
