Good evening Bobcats,
What a great full week of school at ERA!!! We’re all getting into the swing of things, learning our routines and classroom rules and best of all, learning all of our new friends names. As our students and teachers build their classroom communities, anyone interested in joining the fundraising committee, please contact Ms. Sealy to help continue to build our ERA community.
Also, don’t miss out on the opportunity to park in the skip-the-line spots at K-8 for the entire school year. Auction closes TOMORROW!!!
Good luck and have a great week,
Kristin
