Dear Angie,


Hello families!



Thank you so much for showing our teachers so much love last month! We enjoyed all your treats and gifts! Thank you for participating in conferences and discussing your wonderful children’s progress! As we look toward summer, please let us know if you have any vacations coming up for your family.


Our oldest Sharks will be graduating and moving onto kindergarten, if you have not already given your last day, please do so! We will miss you!  


It's Summer T-Shirt Time! Each year, EFC designs a summer t-shirt for optional purchase to celebrate the season. Check out this year's shirt here. (Quote on back: "We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it." -- George Eliot)


If you wish to order, please do so by Monday, June 10. Happy Summer!
