ECC Families,

Good afternoon. I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and this beautiful day! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the families who attended our Pre-K Graduation event. It is always such a humbling experience for me to see all of the families gathered to celebrate this special occasion. There are going to be so many more celebrations in these children's lives but there is just something extra special about wishing them well as they begin the long education journey before them. We are very proud of this milestone our students have achieved and know they are going to do great with their next steps! It looks like we are down to the last two weeks of the 2018-2019 school year. It's hard to believe we will be saying goodbye to so many students soon! Teachers will be finishing up year end assessments and sending those home this week. We will also have our end of year party on Friday. If you have graduated or started your summer vacation early we hope you will still join us on Friday from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM as we celebrate the end of a great year with Dino O'Dell. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I will see you tomorrow.

God Bless,

Catherine M. Koob

Garden Updating
If you haven't been back to the ECC garden before you need to check it out. We are in the midst of doing some updating. Some great things are happening back there being led by Ms. Kay and her class. Ms. Eileen/Abby class have also donated some time to planting also. We will be doing a formal garden blessing and dedication soon. If you like to garden or would just like to help out please email ckoob@olpls.org or kbennett@olpls.org. We are always looking for volunteers to help out!
Construction Updates
It looks like Murray may be open again. However there will continue to be construction throughout the summer. We will also be starting some major construction here at Presentation during the summer. More information on how this will affect parking for the ECC will be coming. Please be aware as construction continues around the area if you are required to use residential streets as detours please be considerate when driving through this areas. These neighborhoods are seeing an increase in traffic and we just want to remind all of our families to please be patient and follow the posted speed limits in these areas.
