Fortnight
Principal’s Message:
A fortnight used to mean “two weeks.” As in—It is but a fortnight until summer vacation. I’m entirely sure if you ask one of our students what fortnight means they will reference a video game (I’m not sure what this game is or what happens—I just know there are silly dances associated with it).
Ultimately language shifts, moves and bends as it trickles down through the generations. What used to be no big deal is now horrendous to say out loud, what used to be horrendous to say might be no big deal to a younger generation.
What do we do with this ever-changing dynamic?
What if we learned continuously from the generations behind us and the generations in front of us. It is very easy to place wisdom behind us and miss out on the burgeoning wisdom in front of us. This tension is felt not only in regards to language, but in regards to so many other minor and major areas of life. How are you holding space for those who came before while also making space for those who are setting their course now?

ENROLLMENT
Few things we want you to know about Enrollment:
We are pushing for 65 students in our K-8 classes next year! Here’s how you can help us out—any family that you refer to ECA that completes the enrollment process will earn ONE learner in your family the opportunity to have their enrollment fee waived!
Childcare:
If at all possible-please call us by noon day-off for last minute childcare arrangements.
Pick-up your learner at the library door if they are at childcare!
