Hello ECC Families,
On Wednesday, April 26th from 4-7pm we are doing a community scavenger hunt! Children will get a simple map of the area. Clues will guide your family around the community where your child(ren) will receive a hole punch on their card at that stop. There is a yummy treat awaiting you at the last stop! Punch cards will be turned in for a drawing for a $50 gift card to the Butcher Shop! We hope your family can join this fun event! Everyone is welcome! Please RSVP so we know how many to expect. https://forms.gle/HEXKAKrTxptX45LGA
