What do teachers wish for? Check out ECMS Classroom Wish List and choose an item you can help with. These range from first-aid kits to frog dissection software. Can you help with some of these needs for our classrooms?
Change for Change
You raised $561.50 in September, just by bringing pocket change to homeroom. That funds 14 kids for Challenge Day 2012! Save those pennies for the next Change for Change, the week of Oct. 10. http://ecmsfoundation.org/events/

Thanks to all of you who made our Fall Bowling Fundraiser a success! Eleven lanes of students, families and teachers packed Brunswick Lanes on Delk Road for a fun afternoon. These parties have raised about $2,000 since last fall.
