Reused Tokeneke Eagle

The Tokeneke Book Fair will be held March 27th – March 30th.  This year’s theme is Read, Reuse, Recycle.  One of the planned activities is the creation of a Tokenek Eagle made from reused materials.  If you would like to contribute to this please send 1-2 items in a ziploc bag or small container and indicate that they are for the eagle.  Recommended items include Happy Meal toys, buttons, carnival prizes, game pieces, etc.  They have asked that you not send items that could be placed in your recycling bin. 

These items will be collected next week and the week of February 27th in a box in the Great Hall.

Research

Dear Parents,

 

This week you received some information in your child’s backpack regarding an exciting opportunity here at ELP.  Our school has been selected to participate in an interesting research project aimed at better understanding how young children learn.  Mary Stone, doctoral student and instructor in child development at Fordham University, is taking a sabbatical from her position as a school psychologist in the Darien Public Schools to conduct this research.  She has provided us with a letter outlining her project and an attached consent form if you are interested in participating.  If you would like to contact her to get more information, you can email her at MSkinner@fordham.edu or call her at (203)-341-4512.  She would be happy to speak with you regarding your family’s potential participation in this important research.

We greatly appreciate your willingness to engage in this interesting research.  Should you need a new letter and consent form please let me know. 

 

Thank you.

 

 

Valentine’s Day Update

I forgot to add this piece in the first post….

When preparing Valentines please try to avoid foods due to possible allergen exposures.  Sticker, pencils, or just plain cards are preferrable.  Thank you for supporting the school in keeping all of our students healthy.
