The PCO is collecting clean, usable uniform clothes and spirit wear for the Uniform ReUse Market. The clothes will be made available to all ECS families at upcoming ECS summer events.  Although families are welcome to take items they can use for no charge, any money we receive through "suggested donations" will be used to fund a special PCO activity for our students next year. Gather your outgrown clothes today (and wire hangers) and deliver them to the "Uniform Re-Use Box" located outside the front office. Our goal is to collect 200 uniform items before our last week in session.  Information about the Uniform Re-Use Market time and place will follow. Questions? Email uniform@ecspco.org. Thank you for your donations!

We are currently taking orders for ECS polo shirts for the fall. You must order by May 24, 2012

Mark your calendars for the most important PCO meeting of the year coming up on Monday, February 27th from 6:30 to 8:00 pm in the school auditorium.  This will be a town hall style meeting to gather ideas and opinions about the future of the PCO as the school splits into two buildings. Should we maintain our current structure?  Should we have two completely separate PCOs?  Should we do some combination of both?  Your input is crucial in determining our future and the impact that we will continue have on our school.  Please plan to join the discussion with other dedicated, involved, and open-minded ECS parents as we engage in this important guided discussion.  If you've ever wanted an opportunity to become more involved or to have your voice shared with the larger group, please come join us!  Childcare for school age children will be provided and pizza will be available to purchase by the slice.  Questions?  Email parents@ecspco.org

Since the lottery is being reconducted on Feb. 24, we have changed movie night to March 2 at 6:30 pm.  We apologize for the inconvenience in changing the date for this event again.

Bakers needed: please drop off baked goods in the teacher's lounge (marked "PCO bake sale") or bring them to movie night.  Thank you!
