Hello Parents,
The 3rd grade students presented the play "America the Beautiful" on Friday, November 2. The students got to choose different U.S. Presidents and other famous Americans to share stories and sing songs about. They got all dressed-up in their fancy clothes – the costumes were amazing – and sang wonderful, fun songs about America. Congratulations, 3rd grade students, on a great performance. Parents, we have impressive, talented young students, and I am very proud of each and every one of them. Please be sure to check out the pictures under the "2nd-4th" tab.
Chili dinner begins @ 5:00 p.m.
I mentioned this in last week's blog, but I am reminding you all again what is going on with our service project that ends this Friday, November 9.
Our REALLY BIG, IMPORTANT service project has started this week. "Bare Necessities" is the project's name, and bringing in CAN GOODS, CLOTHES, and SHELTERs/TENTS is the game! We want our elementary friends to grasp the concept of giving to others. I am challenging each student to bring in 25 cans or articles of clothing by November 9! This is a great opportunity to watch our children bless those in the community around us. Margaret Meed once said, “Never believe that a few caring people can't change the world. For, indeed, that's all who ever have.” Change starts with letting our little friends know they can make a difference. Our goal is to help them understand that the canned food they bring in will help feed a hungry family. Also, that the clothes they donate will be clothing someone in need. Deuteronomy 15:7 states, "When you happen on someone who’s in trouble or needs help among your people with whom you live in this land that God, your God, is giving you, don’t look the other way pretending you don’t see him." Surely God has blessed us, and with Him all things are possible! Thank you for your support in our service project effort!
We have open house this Sunday, November 11. Please help us by inviting friends and family to come be a part of our EHCS family or at least just come check it out!
Extended Care users, we have an update about Thanksgiving break. Mrs. Freudenthal will have a camp on November 19 and 20. She needs you all to register by November 14. The time is 7 a.m. – 6 p.m. and the cost is $45 per day.

Before I sign off this week, I would like to share with you what I shared with my staff this week. I think we can all use a reminder that no matter what happens, God is in control...

God is in Control…
The psalmist David learned this lesson through a life of ups and downs, successes, and fierce challenges. In Psalm 103:19-22, David praises God for his dominion, crying out, “the Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingdom ruleth over all. Here, David -- Israel’s most beloved King -- recognizes his humble submission to the One who sits on the heavenly throne, the Lord of all creation.
