Meals Over the Summer
At the current time, ECS does not have plans to distribute meals over the summer, but that could change, so we encourage families to check back here if you are in need of meals for children during the summer.
In the meantime, there are a number of organizations that can assist with obtaining nutritious food. If you need assistance, regardless of income, we encourage you to reach out for help.
Organizations that stand ready to help:
The USDA Farmers to Families Food Box
The Farmers to Families Food Box will be free and available to all ECS families, regardless of income, on every other Wednesday between 11an -2pm (July 8th is the next distribution date). You can pick up your produce box at the bus garage. It is first come, first serve until all boxes are gone. Food boxes will continue to be available every other Wednesday after June 8th during the COVID19 emergency or until further notice. Times and pick-up locations will stay the same until further notice.

YEARBOOKS!
Tuesday, July 7th.
Yearbooks have arrived! Distribution will be over two days for BOTH elementary and regular yearbooks. The first day of distribution is Thursday, July 9th and it is ONLY for graduating seniors or students who have reserved one. Make sure you bring your receipt. The second day is Monday, July 13th and is for anyone else who wants a yearbook until they are sold out. If you aren't sure if you have reserved one or if you can't make the scheduled time email Mrs. Bauer to make arrangements. The cost of a regular yearbook is $60.00 and an elementary yearbook is $15. Exact payment amounts and checks made out to ECS Yearbook Club will be appreciated. Yearbooks will be distributed at the back entrance to the High School Cafeteria from 3 pm to 6 pm on both days. Only one student or parent may approach the entrance at a time and masks must be worn. Again, ONLY seniors or students who have reserved a yearbook can pick them up on July 9th.
Thank you.
