Meet Keziah. She is in first grade in Miss Reichart’s class, and says about her teacher, “She’s very nice. She is pretty.” Her favorite subjects are math, reading, and science because “They make me learn and I get to do a lot of projects.” While at school, she enjoys parties with snacks and being on the classroom carpet, where she gets to read books. Outside of school, she likes to do homework, play, and watch television. Someday she would like to be an astronaut and says her grandma promised she would take her to space. Keep reaching for the stars, Keziah! No matter if you’re here on earth or in space, you will always be a Pirate. #wcpiratepride #wcclassof2037

Snowballs were flying in the ECC gym! Fortunately, the snowballs are fluffy and don't melt. Students had a lot of fun while enjoying this physical activity and working on coordination skills.

Dental Hygiene students from Sinclair have a direct connection to the Tooth Fairy, and they are part of the Tooth Fairy Squad. The Tooth Fairy sends out squad members to teach young children about the importance of brushing their teeth and flossing. Children even learn about foods that are good for their teeth. Thank you for visiting the ECC!

Today is World Kindness Day. If we start kindness at home, kids can take it to school and share it with their teachers, support staff, and classmates. Teachers, support staff, and classmates can take it home and share it with their families. It can keep spreading from there! Let's make the school district a kind place to be!
