🍎🍏 Our littlest Rangers had the SWEETEST start to ECFE! 🍏🍎
Last night was all things APPLE as we kicked off our first night of ECFE! Our little learners and their grown-ups painted, played, sang, snacked, read, and got those wiggles out together. ❤️ We had so much fun learning, connecting, and making memories—and we’re already counting down to next week! 🍎✨
What is ECFE?
Early Childhood Family Education is a special time for parents/caregivers and children birth through Kindergarten to learn, play, and grow together! Each class includes fun, hands-on activities that support early childhood development, socialization, and—most importantly—connection between children and their grown-ups. 💕 ECFE is here to support and empower families while helping create positive environments where little ones can learn and thrive.
📚 Mondays | 5:00–6:30 PM
🍎 It’s not too late to join us! We’d LOVE to welcome more little Rangers and their families to our ECFE family!

We can’t wait to see you next Monday!

Mrs. Hampl's 3rd grade class was wrapping up their morning meeting when wings began to emerge! 🦋They had noted the dark color and transparency of the chrysalis 30 minutes prior. Most exciting & welcomed blurt ever was …”It’s hatching!” The class went silent and the watched…until fully emerged. By 2:30, they could tell it was time to let her go! (She was named Cupcake by a group of kids).
They released her out the south door to give her a head start on her journey to Mexico! A truly beautiful experience!
Thank you to Isaac Fuller and family for brining this experience to Mrs. Hampl's classroom on the first day of school. They had been observing the chrysalis each day. 🦋

Remembering September 11, 2001
Today, we pause to remember the lives lost and the families forever changed on September 11.
We honor the courage of the first responders, the strength of those who came together, and the spirit of unity that followed.
We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
