A Note From Miss June
Dear ECC Families,
I hope that you are enjoying the beautiful fall days and spending time with your little one outside. This past week we were so happy to see our Pre-K families at conferences. Thank you for taking the time to come.
Next week,
October 11, 6:00 - 7:30 pm, at the Maize South High School Track, we hope to see all of our ECC/PAT families at Walk 'N Roll. This event is in it's second year and is something you won't want to miss! It is a
great event for families to participate in together. It is also our fundraiser, a fundraiser that doesn't mean selling anything! So, if you didn't get a chance to sign up yet, please just come. We hope you might choose to donate to our school, if so, a $20 donation gets your child a school T-shirt (we will place orders for those just after the event if you have not yet registered). I think you and your little one will enjoy finishing the "race", ending with a balloon arch and a medal.
We also have another ECC/PAT Chick fil-A Night on
October 27 and our Pre-K Fall parties on
October 28. Can't wait to see your little one in costume!
Yours for the journey of childhood,
Miss June

Dear Boys and Girls,
Yesterday, my brother got glasses. Today, he didn't want to come to school, because he was afraid other kids would make fun of him for looking different.
He looks pretty good in his glasses. And some of the bigger kids have glasses too, so he isn't the only one. Some of our heroes wear glasses, my Dad wears glasses, and the principal of the school wears glasses. Glasses help people see better, and now my brother can read the road signs and see the board in class, and see the TV without sitting right on top of it.
I hope no one teases my brother about his glasses. I think the kids in his class will be kind and will tell my brother he still
looks the same and they hardly even notice once the newness wears off. How would you want other kids to be with you if you had to get glasses?
Love,
Wuzzy
p.s. The school nurse tested all of our eyes this week and has sent home notices in case the screening indicated me or my brother needs to be seen by the eye doctor. Hope everyone follows up and lets the school nurse know what the eye doctor says. 3 year olds can get a free eye exam through the See to Learn program. If you need help getting an eye exam or glasses please contact the school nurse.
