The key to making the most out of Scrip is to purchase your regular monthly items with a gift card. Gas cards, Walmart or Target, pharmacy cards, eating out, clothing or Visa.
Regular Scrip purchases add up to big tuition credits and continuing funds for ECCS. Contact the Scrip Coordinator if you have any questions. Over $900 in tuition credit has just been applied to our family accounts! Yay!

This year ECCS will enjoy our 4th Annual Student Walk-a-Thon! In years past, the Walk-a-Thon has been held in conjunction with our Golf Tournament at Timberline in April. This year, however we are moving the date to March 3rd and the location to Veteran's Park here in Alabaster! The student kickoff for the Walk-a-Thon will be this Monday, January 31st, so be on the lookout for the materials and information to be sent home that day.

Grammar Drama Club to Present Robin Hood | |
Come see Hi, Ho, Robin Hood at the Evangel gym
Friday, January 28th at 7:00p.m.
Saturday, January 29th at 5:30p.m.
Robin Hood is leading a merry life with his followers in Sherwood Forest. Unfortunately, the evil Prince John has taken the place of King Richard the Lion-Hearted, who has gone to the Holy Land on a crusade. With King Richard absent, Prince John is waging a personal war against Robin Hood. Meanwhile, Lady Merle of Cornwall hopes to make John more acceptable to the people of England by forcing Maid Marian, Robin's childhood sweetheart, to marry the wicked prince. Only the brave and shrewd Robin Hood can secure Nottingham for the safe return of the king.
Come and see Robin and his merry band as they work to save Maid Marian and the people of Sherwood Forest. Hi, Ho, Robin Hood is a family entertainment at its utmost and is filled with many action packed sword fights and delightful songs. This engaging adventure captures the hearts of both young and old with spirited verse and humor galore! |

Logic & Rhetoric School Updates |
Service Day
The Beta Club, under the leadership of sponsor Mrs. Martha Earwood is planning a school wide service day for all students grades 6-12 on February 18. All the students and teachers will go out into the community on various service projects. Students will need to pack a sack lunch. Please be in prayer for this day to be a blessing to the students and to the community. This will be a huge organizational effort, and many volunteer drivers will be needed. We will also need volunteers to coordinate our group snack after the students come back in from their projects. If you are interested in volunteering to drive or help organize and / or provide for the snack, please email Kim Parks at kparks@evangelclassical.org.
Deadline Approaching for Cotillion Ticket Purchase! The Winter Cotillion is almost here! Tickets are still on sale for $30. Please remember to purchase yours by the deadline--January 28th. The Cotillion will be held on Friday, February 11 in the Evangel gym. Students will be dismissed at 1:00 that day so that they can rest up and get ready for the evening. The event will begin at 6:30 and end at 10:00.
Dress for the Cotillion is semi-formal. Girls should wear dresses, and boys needs to wear coats and ties. Dresses should not be too short, too tight, or too revealing in any way. For the Cotillion, we do ask that girls choose their dresses carefully, avoiding strapless dresses, dresses that show any cleavage, and dresses that are too short. We will not require shrugs for dresses that have straps, however. If you have any question about a particular dress, please don't hesitate to ask Mrs. Parks.
Dance, Dance, Dance!
Logic School students are enjoying their dance lessons in PE, and we had a great turn out for the Rhetoric School dance lessons last Friday. Rhetoric School students, don't forget the dance lessons this Friday from 3:30-4:30. Due to Grammar drama rehearsal, we will have the dance lessons in the foyer again.
Free Replacement of Uniform Shirts
It has come to our attention that some of our rhetoric students' chambray blue mesh polos are fading in bleached steaks and patches in the fabric. You simply need to contact Lands End to have those shirts replaced at no charge.
Contact DeeDee O'Neal, head of the uniform committee, with any questions for further concerns you may have.
