Principal's Message

Dear Eccles Families and Caregivers,

I wanted to give a big shout out to our amazing PTA! I am so excited for the Jog-a-thon on Tuesday, April 30. Not only is this one of my favorite events of the year, it raises money for the PTA and the many ways they support our school.

Thank you PTA for your work putting this fun event together and organizing this important fundraiser for our school! And a big shout out to all of the students that are working hard on reaching out to family and friends to earn money for the fundraiser.

It is a superhero themed event so kids can dress up as their favorite superhero for running on Tuesday.

Hopefully, you can cheer us on or help count laps. Please sign in at the office if you are going to be on campus and cheering us on. And sign up for a shift with the PTA to help if you can!

See you soon!

Sincerely,

Kelly

What's Cooking?

zoom_out_map

At school, there’s always a meal ready to be served!

Some mornings, it’s tough to find the time to make sure your kids are eating a nutritious breakfast. On those days, why not send them to the School Breakfast Program? Each meal meets government nutritional guidelines and standards. Schools are required to provide a breakfast meal that includes fruit, whole-grain rich items, and low fat or fat free milk. Check your child’s menu to see the variety of nutritious choices available at School Breakfast, or stop by to sample the food yourself!
