Pumpkin Parade

The Pumpkin Parade will take place on Thursday, October 31st at 9 a.m. on the block surrounding the Primary School. We ask that families stand across the street from the parade. This is a half-day for the students with dismissal at 11:20 a.m. ALL DISMISSAL CHANGES OR UPDATES must be entered in PICK UP PATROL prior to 10 a.m. on the 31st. 

Please note, ALL grade levels plan to have their class celebration AFTER the pumpkin parade.

ECS We CAN

ECS 2nd graders have launched a district-wide initiative called “ECS, We CAN” as a part of their capstone project. With a goal to recycle 100,000 cans, we need your help! Students will earn $1 for the Primary school for every 58 cans they collect. Plus, the top three winning schools will receive between $1000 to $3000! These funds will support ECS Primary’s environmental literacy out-the-door education opportunities.

Here's how you can help: 

  • Save aluminum drink cans.

  • Do not crush them.

  • Arrange for drop off at your building’s designated can drop off location. 

  • ECS encourages and prefers adults to drop off aluminum cans. 

  • If a student plans to transport aluminum cans themselves, they are not permitted to bring alcoholic cans.

Between now and April, ECS will also work with local businesses to collect aluminum cans, and we recognize that many of our ECS families own or work for local organizations that may be able to help increase our can collection. If your business is interested in contributing to the ECS We CAN project, please complete this form.

The ECS we CAN project is sponsored by PPG.
