Tis the Season….
The 7 COM groups at the ELC decided to sponsor 2 single parent families this Christmas through the Women’s Resource Center. Hampers usually include a Christmas dinner, clothes for the children, winter coats, shoes, other gifts based on the children’s interests, and groceries to carry the family a bit past the Christmas meal. As teachers, we knew that we had a short time-frame to fund raise all this for two families – only three weeks – but the kids sure rose to the challenge! Between all the classes, we gathered supplies for 2 Christmas dinners, a “tree-full” of gifts for each family, and over $1400.00 in gift cards to split between the families to Sobey’s, Ernie’s, Walmart, Pricesmart, and others. An idea initiated by the Leadership 10 class, it was the commitment of the teachers and students of the whole school that made it possible to sponsor two families for Christmas this season. Way to go guys! Another reason that the ELC is such a great place to work and go to school.
Merry Christmas!
On behalf of the staff of the Energetic Learning Campus we would like to wish you the warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and a very happy new year!
