News from ECC/FL PTA
Raise Craze - FLECC PTA Fall Fundraiser (now - October 14, 2024)
Step up and make a difference with our FLECC PTA Fall fundraiser! This is more than just a donation—it's a powerful conversation starter for your family about the ripple effect of kindness in our world. When you contribute, your child takes on a mission to spread goodness, akin to their dedication in a Read-a-thon or Run-a-thon. It's about teaching compassion through action.
Let's rally together, contribute to our schools' success, and inspire our kids to pay it forward with heartfelt acts of kindness. Your involvement is needed for us to be able to continue to provide the same or similar experiences as we have in past years. This includes field trips, programs/assemblies, field day and grade specific activities such as Kindergarten Bridge Ceremony and 3rd grade picnic.
Let's show our children the true power of giving!
REGISTER HERE: https://my.raisecraze.com/app2/join/AGX52CJ
Donations may also be made via Givebacks or check written out to FLECC PTA and placed in the FLECC PTA mailbox in either building.
