The Power of Words

Principal’s Message:

Hello ECA families,

My mom told me a story about a time when I was a young boy. My mom loved to sing. Some of my favorite memories are listening to her sing me to sleep with songs she heard as a child.

Eventually, she taught me to sing along with a few of the songs too. One of the first songs I learned was “Jesus Loves Me This I Know.” You can imagine my mom’s surprise when she heard me sing the familar words we all know, “Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells him to.”

Our new Friendzy theme for this upcoming month is Watch My Words.” The words of Jesus restored our image of God as a heavenly father who loves us; they also challenged us to use our words to help others see that very truth.

“A person’s words can be life-giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook.” - Proverbs 18:4

Covid Policies in the News

Thank you for remembering to keep masks over noses and mouths while indoors at school. I know there has been a lot of news about masking requirements in Oregon after March 31. As we get closer to that date, our school will work with our local health care professionals on our ECA Covid Committee to make a an updated policy. This updated policy will be presented to our school board in March for approval and will then be shared with families.. Thank you for continuing to support school and community health.

Our school has also started working with the University of Oregon with an in-home saliva Covid test. This weekly testing program is available to your child and is free of charge. If you would like more information or would like to participate, call the school office and we will get information to you.
