On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, it is a long-standing tradition for students at ECDS to enjoy a mini-Thanksgiving feast at school. Students from all grade levels help prepare food for their respective feasts and create seasonal craft projects. Older students assist teachers and younger students with set-up and food service. Acts of service that benefit others provide opportunities for students to put into action the character traits they have studied – kindness, generosity, perseverance, etc. When “big kids help little kids,” students at all grade levels get a chance to experience the profound connection between service and gratitude.
Once again, the ECDS PAC (Parent Action Committee) will team-up with the Encinitas Fire Dept. to cook-up a gourmet breakfast for all grade levels at ECDS on the morning before Winter Break begins. In addition to great food hot off the griddle, students will enjoy making numerous trips to the Hot Chocolate stand and the digital Photo Booth!
Mark your calendars for the annual Holiday Breakfast on Friday, December 19th. Students will be served according to a schedule that will be circulated soon to teachers at every grade level.
