How do I reach the school nurse?
What uniform items do I need to purchase for my student?
Where may I find information about school security?

We’re very proud to announce that beginning Fall 2018, ELCA students will be able to opt into piano lessons that are taught as a class during the school day. The class will be taught in the new Fine Arts Technology Lab located on the 2
nd
floor of the elementary wing. There will be ten piano keyboard stations that will pairs technology with classroom instruction to teach piano keyboarding to multiple students at the same time. Teaching multiple students simultaneously drastically reduces the cost per lesson over privatized piano instruction, and employs modern technology to enhance learning. The technology is fantastic, but our instructor is even more amazing:
Ms. Amanda Farnsworth:
• University of Northern Colorado - BA in Piano/Collaborative Piano
• Professional piano instructor, composer and orchestrator.

ELCA has partnered with Sky So Blue to bring Chinese international students to ELCA since 2014.
|
There is currently a need for two host families for two 8th grade boys from China who will be at ELCA for the first two weeks of school. We see this as an opportunity to testify and expose these students to our faith and are asking strong Christian families to step forward:
- Looking for strong Christian family with separate room to host a boy for 2 weeks starting at the beginning of school.
- $1100/month pro-rated stipend, students have their own health insurance, cell plan, allowance money, etc.
- The student is expected to attend church with the family. Student and family will get a well known apologetics book (in English and Chinese) to start a discussion on the gospel message.
- Opportunity to meet and network with the existing group of host parents to share what works in planting seeds with these international students.
Virtually none of the kids have heard the gospel message before coming to America, so this is our chance. Please contact David at
davidcgwu@gmail.com
or (678) 643-1150 if you are interested or have questions.
