Get excited for our Military Spirit Week!

This April, we are celebrating the Month of the Military Child. As our way of thanking our Military families, we will show our military appreciation through the following activities:

Monday, April 22 - Show our Military Appreciation Day - Students will draw pictures and cards for our military.

Tuesday, April 23 - Patriotic Day - Wear red, white and blue or something military

Wednesday, April 24 - "Military Job" Career Day - students will hear from different military volunteers about the jobs they perform. We need volunteers!

Thursday, April 25 - Purple Up Day with Coffee Talk, 9:30 am. After that, at 10:00 am, the entire school will walk outside the front of our building for the Pledge of Allegiance, Star Spangled Banner, and a military salute. All are invited. Wear PURPLE or your military uniform! Military children and parents will have refreshments after.

Friday, April 26 - Parade with Flags - After the morning announcements, students will carry flags and banners and have a marching parade with Military themed music around the school.

So plan ahead and come join us during this fun week!

Save the date! Willoughby ECC will be participating in the statewide tornado drill tomorrow, March 19, after the morning announcements. State law requires that all public schools participate in an annual tornado drill.
