ELC at George Earle Weekly Update

Start saving your receipts from Stracks! As a school we can earn AMAZING prizes just from turning our receipts in from Stracks. Send your receipts in to your teacher whenever you have them!! Each month we will have a contest to see which class collects the most dollar amount of receipts from Stracks and the winning class will earn a prize and bragging rights for the month!

Ms. Fraze and Mrs. Helminski's Lego Club is a wildly popular club each and every year! Each year they get about 150 kids that want to join... The good news is that ALL kids that want to be in Lego Club will get an opportunity to be in Lego Club!!! Club will start mid-September and run in 5-week sessions throughout the school year. You will get a letter home from Ms. Fraze & Mrs. Helminski with all the specifics when it is your child's turn to be in club. There are typically 8 five-week sessions in a school year- so hang tight if your child isn't in this first round! They promise they will get them all in before the school year ends!

Our SRO, Officer D is celebrating his first full year of Kindergarten at The ELC this year too. If you ever need to reach him- all of his contact info is listed here.

And so it begins!! Our lost and found already has items collecting! We will post pictures of our lost and found periodically here on Facebook and in our weekly newsletters. If you see something that is your child’s, or know your child is missing something- please reach out to SRO D. Please do not comment on Facebook if you see something that is your child's. His contact info is pictured here as well. Thanks!!

And remember- a GREAT way to keep your child's items out of lost & found jail is to LABEL EVERYTHING! If it is labeled, we can easily get it back to your child!

The School City of Hobart Building Brickies' goal is to strengthen families by empowering parents as their child’s first and best teachers. Every day, we advocate for families so every child-in every neighborhood-can thrive.
