ECMS AVID had so much fun celebrating the AVID program last week. They had dress up days, assemblies, sold Valentine Candy Grams, and got to share with the entire school what AVID is all about. If you are interested in joining AVID for next school year, you can pick up an application from Mrs. Bowling in Room D116. All applications are due by Wednesday, February 15th.

Parents and Guardians,
It is with a heavy heart that we acknowledge the loss of one of our ECMS students. We will provide emotional support to our student body as they traverse the grieving process. School counselors and ministers will be available throughout the day to meet with students individually and in small groups. Teachers will be prepared to address student needs in the classroom as well. There will be a Memorial Wall where students can post messages, pictures and notes in memory of their friend and classmate. Students and staff are encouraged to honor her by wearing pink this week. The FCA will be sponsoring a prayer meeting at 9am and there will be a prayer opportunity again during 7th grade lunch. We will be announcing a fundraising effort to defer funeral expenses on Monday. Thank you for your continued support of ECMS faculty, staff and students during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Sandy Fellers
El Campo Middle School
Principal
