Endings and Beginnings

It looks as though Winter is losing its grip on us and glorious Spring is starting to blossom everywhere you look, thank goodness!

What's OLD: Here at ECLC, our Dance-a-Thon has ended, but the chance to donate has been extended until April 30. Also, the John's Crazy Socks fundraiser finished Friday. Thank you to all who are rocking the socks they purchased to benefit our students!

What's NEW: The PTO is gearing up for the spring school picnic. It's gonna be a good one! More info below. Also, the ECLC Foundation Gala is looking for volunteers for various tasks. See the link to sign up.

What else...what else...? Oh, there's a bunch of stuff to tell you all! Just see below for everything—and when you're done, go outside for some fresh, slowly warming up air. Earth Day is the 22nd, and you should enjoy the beauty of nature all around you!
