Tonight is the artist reception for: Through Their Eyes: Children's Art in Times of War and Peace
This event will take place at The Washington Pavilion from 6-8pm.
Last year all EFA+ contributed two pieces for this project. Visual artist, Eyob Mergia used the pieces to develop and create the exhibit. Due to space constraints, not all pieces were able to be displayed, but all pieces contributed to the inspiration and heart of the completed exhibit. It will be on display through January.
This week we kicked off the EFA+ Fun Run! This is our annual fundraiser to support our A+ program.
If you haven't signed your child up, you may do so at:

Your child will get a prize just for signing up!
As a school we are working towards a fundraising goal, and if we meet that goal, we will get to turn Mr. Mees into a "human sundae".

Stay tuned for dates and details.
