'Tis the season to spread joy! The 6th grade students had an opportunity to spread joy to our service members. 200 holiday cards were written out to soldiers serving all over the world and from all branches of the military. All cards, stamps, and stickers were donated by ECSD staff members and their families. It was wonderful to see how excited the children were to be able to brighten the spirits of someone serving away from home this holiday season.
