Grammar Update | |
Photo Request
Thanks to all the Grammar parents who volunteer to help out with special classroom activities, attend the wonderful grammar field trips and drive when possible. We appreciate you all! We are hoping you will also be willing to share any terrific photos you take both inside the classroom and on these trips with ECCS. We would love to use them for Newsletters, Yearbook, and possibly in advertising. If you have photos of events or field trips you are willing to share, please email them to us! You may email them to your child's teacher, Mrs. McKee, or Mr. Gainey. Thanks for sharing!
Have a wonderful and safe Fall Break!

Logic & Rhetoric School Updates |
Thank you for your prayers for Mrs. KIm Parks. Her surgery went well, and she is home resting and recovering nicely. Please continue to keep her in your prayers. Fall Festival Thanks to Mrs. Martha Earwood and the Beta Club for planning the student workers at Fall Festival. Thanks also to Mrs. Rebecca Reese for coordinating the Logic basket and Mrs. Kathryn Rapier for coordinating the Rhetoric basket for the Silent Auction. You will be hearing from them soon with details of the baskets they are planning.
Community Service Opportunities
ECCS freshmen through seniors are required to do community service each semester. Freshmen are required to serve for six hours per semester; sophomores, seven; juniors, eight; and seniors, ten. Many of our students routinely exceed the minimum number of hours and have found great joy in serving. We hope that all our high school students will find a niche in which to serve. Those who do will of course be rewarded most by the service itself, but they will also find that the time they devote to community service is highly useful when filling out college applications, most of which ask about community service, and some of which even require an accounting of hours. There are several timely community service opportunities currently posted on the SGA and Beta Club bulletin boards.
PSAT October 13
All ECCS sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT on Wednesday, October 13. We encourage them to make every effort to be at school on that date as that is the only date we will be able to offer this very important test this year. 8th - 12th graders, don't forget to be working on reading Amazing Grace. |
