It's never too late to join the PTSA!
As we enter November, our focus shifts to gratitude. A heartfelt thank you goes out to all of our incredible teacher and parent volunteers who made ECHS Homecoming such a resounding success! It was fantastic to see so many of our students coming together and celebrating at our very first Homecoming dance on campus.
This month's newsletter is packed with valuable information and opportunities to get involved—both here at ECHS and within our broader community. As we approach the end of the first semester, we invite you to join us in giving back, staying connected, and supporting our students and educators.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our ECHS family!

2 Ways to Help:

Option 2 (At Home): Pick up a feather-cutting kit at the front office on Tuesday, Nov 10, cut feathers at home, and return them (attn: Trina Dorrah) by Friday morning, Nov 13.
Note: ECHS students can earn volunteer hours by helping out with either option!
