EC May Newsletter

Dear Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing April vacation and that our students returned refreshed, recharged, and excited for all of the great things the remainder of the school year will bring. It is hard to believe how quickly this school year is moving along, and we are looking forward to a very busy and exciting month ahead.

From May 4th through May 8th, we will be honoring our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week. This is a special opportunity to recognize the incredible dedication, care, and hard work our teachers show each and every day. Their commitment to creating meaningful learning experiences and nurturing relationships with our students truly makes our school community so special.

Please remember that there will be no school on Monday, May 25th, in observance of Memorial Day.

We are also excited to invite families to our Art and Music Show on May 29th. This is always a wonderful event that highlights the creativity, talent, and hard work of our students, and we look forward to celebrating their accomplishments together.

As the weather gets warmer and spring is finally here, we continue working together to create a loving, supportive, and nurturing environment where all students can learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you for your continued partnership and support throughout the school year.

Wishing everyone a wonderful month of May!

Ms. Tintle

The final units of the year will focus on exploring our natural world. Pre-K students will be investigating the season of spring and how our environment continues to change with the new season. Kindergartners will unpack their role as “caretakers of the earth” by answering questions like what are some activities that humans can do to reduce our impact on the earth? As well as how and what do trees provide to other living things? 1st graders will be discovering how sound works, how light works, and how we can use sound and light to communicate with others. 2nd graders will be learning about plants and flowers, about the insects and other animals that pollinate flowers, how this works, and why it is so important.

It’s time to start planning for the 2026-2027 school year! We are already excited about all of the great things happening next year at the EC Campus.

In the upcoming weeks, you will receive an email with information regarding the student re-enrollment process for next year.

If you are not planning to re-enroll your student, or if you have any questions regarding the process, please contact Cathy at ctraniello@phacs.org.

We are excited to invite you to our Annual Art and Music Show on Thursday, May 29th, here at the EC Campus! From 1:45-2:05pm, families are invited to walk through our hallways and enjoy the beautiful artwork created by our talented PreK–Grade 2 students. Then, join us in the gym from 2:15-2:45pm for a wonderful musical presentation showcasing our students’ hard work and creativity. This is always such a special event, and we are thrilled to share our students’ many talents with you. We hope to see you there!
