Week of March 9, 2026
Here Comes the Sun!

With the weather warming, the rain a-falling, and the wind a-blowing, spring is certainly making its intentions known. This weekend was a great chance to get outside and stretch our legs in the warmer air, and this week is going to be a teasing taste of things to come. But winter isn't giving up that easily, so don't pack away your coats and sweaters just yet...you'll jinx it for us all!

Otherwise, how's that time change working for you? Our house doesn't like Daylight Savings Time. We are tired and feeling crabby all over this week. Hopefully brighter days and outdoor activities will help get us the pep in our step our sleepy bodies need!

Nevertheless, as things heat up slowly outside, so PTO activities and events continue here at ECLC–Chatham...and one ECLC Student Government event! See below for all the info you need to know.
