Hello ELS Families, We apologize for the late notice. Due to the forseeable weather, we have decided to cancel this years Trunk or Treat festivities at the Church and School. We apologize for the inconvenience. Stay Safe!

October 25th, 2024 I wanted to get my weekly letter out earlier this morning so I could get one last Pumpkin Fest reminder in as well as some of the regular Friday information! In preschool this week I was greeted with lots of high fives and hugs.  I also saw story time and weather reporting.  Kindergarteners were working on the letter M.  First graders focus sound for the week was short u.  I heard rhyming words like mug, bug, and tug.  Second graders were studying verbs and high frequency words.  3rd graders had a Monday morning meeting where they shared their highs and lows.  4th graders started the week off with some singing and learned a new worship song.  5th graders worked on a SOAP journal during Faith class.  S.O.A.P. is Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer.  6th graders were learning about the effects of altitude on weather and pressure systems.  7th graders learned about the political process during the 2nd presidential election.  8th graders lent a helping hand in helping get lots of things ready for Pumpkin Fest 2024! PUMPKIN FEST We are almost there!  Thank you to all for the help with setting up last night.  We will have food, vendors in the church, games, a bouncing castle, photo booth, mystery boxes, a plant sale, the country store, crafts, petting zoo, drinks, and PUMPKINS!

October 18th, 2024 Welcome back to campus after Fall Break! This week, our preschoolers joined the K-8 students for chapel for the first time this year. It was wonderful to hear their voices. Kindergartners enjoyed some fun games with Uncle Malik during PE.  I don’t run with a smile on my face anymore but it makes me happy when the little ones do! First graders were focusing on identifying nouns and grammar rules. Second graders conducted self-evaluations, likely in preparation for parent-teacher conferences with Mrs. Lewis. Third graders worked on their "5-a-day" exercise, focusing on irregular and regular plural nouns. Fourth graders continued their class novel, Wonder . Fifth graders practiced estimation and completed extra work on Zearn. Sixth graders welcomed Mrs. Rolf, our long term sub for Mrs. Fletcher, who is on maternity leave. Mrs. Rolf is familiar with ELS, having previously served as a substitute teacher. Congratulations to the Fletcher family on the birth of their healthy daughter, Audrey Ann, on October 6th! Seventh graders explored the formation of the first political parties in the United States, a timely topic as we approach Election Day on November 5th. Eighth graders reviewed order of operations for simplifying expressions by working with exponents. Report cards and pictures should have been sent home this week. If you didn't receive yours, please contact your child's classroom teacher. Happy first week of the second quarter! Dippin Dots As you well know, the Travel Team has been selling Dippin Dots and other treats after school on Wednesdays.  We will be taking a two week break.  No sales will take place on the 23rd or the 30th.  Starting November 6th this will take place every other week.  We are in need of some volunteers to help continue these efforts.  The proceeds go towards those taking part in the Spring Trip.  Contact the office if you are able to help.  Set up usually starts at 12:30 and the shop closes up after dismissal at 1:45.  The office will put you in contact with the organizers!  Mahalo!
