A Message From Ms. Tintle
What's Happening at the EC Campus
Dear Prospect Hill Academy Families,
As we settle into the crisp days of November, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful collaboration we have with our parents. Your support, involvement, and partnership make such a meaningful difference in our school community.
October was a month full of joy and learning! Our Fall Fest was a tremendous success, and it was so rewarding to see the children laughing, playing, and enjoying themselves throughout the day. We were also delighted to welcome a storyteller on October 17th, who captivated our students with engaging tales that sparked their imaginations and brought smiles to many faces.
We look forward to a busy month ahead of us which will include, Progress Reports, Parent-Teacher conferences, Veteran’s Day, the November Busy Bee Assembly, our monthly FAB meeting, the PHA Thrive Dinner and of course we will enjoy the Thanksgiving Break.
Thank you again for being such an integral part of our school family. Your partnership, encouragement, and involvement help us create a joyful and nurturing environment where all our children can thrive.
Warmly,
MaryFrances Tintle
Director
