Here is a recap of all the exciting events that occurred during October at the ECLC.

Donuts with Dad

October was an amazing month here at Assumption Early Childhood Learning Center.  We started off the month with our “Donuts with Dad” celebration.  Our students LOVED spending the morning with their dads in the classroom.  Our dads enjoyed fresh warm donuts from The Donut Shoppe, story time and play time in their child’s classroom.

Jog-a-thon

Our PK3 and PK4 Little Knights participated in this year’s Jog-a-thon on October 5th.  The Assumption Catholic School and ECLC raised $28,000 for our campus wide security initiative.  Our PK3 and PK4 students ran laps, danced, and greatly enjoyed popsicle and Smoothie King smoothies.

Community Helpers

During October, we celebrated our community helpers!  On October 9th, Officer Morgan came to visit our PK3 and PK4 students.  Officer Morgan is a K9 officer with JSO.  Officer Morgan told the children all about her dog Murphy.  Officer Morgan discussed with the children the important job that our police officers do daily to protect and serve our community.

Our local fire department came for a visit on October 11th.  The firefighters did a great presentation for all of our students.  The firefighters discussed with the children the importance of not playing with fire, having a fire plan at home and knowing that firefighters are helpers.   The students got a chance to tour the fire truck, try on parts of the uniform and our PK3 and PK4 students got to spray the fire hose.  Our student’s favorite part of the visit was the fire truck lights and sirens!

Nurse Heekin, nurse Ruzanka and nurse Kling came to visit our PK2, PK3 and PK4 students.  During their visit they discussed the importance of healthy living, eating, hand washing and visiting the doctor for well visits.  They also talked about the importance sharing toys and not germs by coughing and sneezing into the fold of your elbow.  The children got to play with syringes and pretended to give shots.  They also learned to wash their hands using water, soap, and rubbing hands together singing the happy birthday song before rinsing.

Fall Festival

The Fall Festival was a HUGE success!  Thank you for all of the donations and for those of you who volunteered to help with our Under the Water Adventure bounce house.  It was great to see our families enjoying the Saturday evening as a community.

50th Day Celebration

October 23rd was the 50th day of the school.  Our PK4 classes had a 1950’s themed party.  The children had a BLAST!  They had a dance party, enjoyed root beer floats and popped 50 balloons! They made a list of 50 things they love about school and counted 50 objects.  Our school was filled with lots of ‘hip cats.”

Pumpkin Party

On October 31st, we had our Pumpkin Party!  We measured, graphed, tested to see if the pumpkins sink or float, painted and finally carved our pumpkins.   It was a day full of excitement and fun.

All Saint’s Day

We started November with our annual All Saint’s Day Parade!  The PK3 and PK4 walked in the parade while our infants, toddlers, PK1 and PK2 students watched the whole school parade through the campus.  Our PK4 had a party to celebrate our main life goal to become actual saints.

We are so very thankful for your families choosing Assumption as your child’s preschool and early childhood learning center.  We love and value each child as member of our school and Christian community.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.  We are always looking for opportunities to grow.  Be sure follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay to date with all of the events and happenings within the Assumption Community

We hope your family has an amazing November and Thanksgiving season.

Blessings,
