Great Start to the 2010-2011 School Year!

What a great start we have had to the new school year! Welcome back to all returning students and families, and a huge WELCOME to students and families who are new to ECS this year. A new school year is an opportunity for a fresh start - establishing great study habits, meeting new friends, and growing stronger in our faith! As elementary principal, it is a joy to see the fresh faces of kindergarten students excited about school, and just as rewarding to see last year's 4th graders moving into Intermediate School this year and loving their new schedules.

I think I have the best job there is! I get to work with talented professionals (our ECS faculty) who love God and integrate biblical principles into rigorous academics, enjoy time with our amazing ECS students at four campuses, and partner with our wonderfully supportive parents to educate children.

Our PTF has two fun events coming up: September 14 is ECS' Hacienda "give back" Fiesta night at the Greenriver Road Hacienda. A portion of sales from carryout, dining in, or gift cards that day with a coupon (to be sent home with students) will be donated to ECS. You won't want to miss the annual Fall Family Fun Night on October 1 at the East Campus. I hear there will be a dunking booth at that event, and I have it on good authority that I will be in it! In fact, there are a lot of 1st graders already telling me that they plan to "dunk" me at FFFN!

Let's make this the best year ever at ECS!
