Dear ECC Families,

The special dress days leading up to Winter Break were so fun. The students showed wonderful spirit and energy, from festive Holiday sweaters to "shining bright" on Glow Day, and adorable, cozy-comfy outfits. Thank you, parents, for volunteering your time and energy to host such sweet class parties. Seeing the children’s faces light up when they see their parents on campus is such a joy. 

5th and 6th Grade Community Service Collaboration: Last week, a group of 5th and 6th grade students traveled down to the ECC. Preschool and Pre-K students partnered with Middle School students to decorate lunch sacks. These decorated sacks will be filled and distributed to those in need. We are grateful to be part of a Preschool - 12th grade community where cross-divisional collaborative projects happen often. 

Comfort and Care Drive: We are excited to be partnering with the Upper School Student Council in this season of giving. Please consider donating any of the items on the list of needs from Mission Arlington. We will be delivering our donations after the holidays, so make plans to be a holiday helper owl. You can drop all donations off any items at the ECC office.

Save-the-Date for the Oakridge Book Fair!

As you head into the holiday season, we wish you and your families a most joyous and restful holiday season. Thank you for choosing Oakridge! 

Warm regards,

Ashley Read, Oakridge Class of 2005
Head of Early Childhood
