What a gorgeous Labor Day weekend we were able to enjoy! If you left Kansas City for the break, I do hope your weather was as glorious! What a great way to celebrate the successful completion of the first two weeks of school.
Lower School Curriculum Night is this Thursday, Sept. 8th – Specials Teachers would like to meet you at 6:15 in the gym for a brief presentation that will also include a few words from our new Division Head, Gingie Watt. The regular presentations by the classroom teachers will begin in those classrooms at 6:45, but the rooms will be closed until that time as teachers will be preparing for you!
Thanks to all who came to ECC Curriculum Night! Our faculty sincerely appreciated your attendance and involvement. If you were unable to attend, the curriculum night packets are attached to the grade level blogs this week.
