Dear ELC & Lower School Parents,

What an exciting and memorable week it has been in the Lower School! From meaningful learning experiences to student leadership, we have much to celebrate.

Our Grade 4 and 5 students enjoyed a wonderful camp experience filled with adventure, culture, and hands-on learning. They visited the Forest Club, where they spent time outdoors, participated in engaging activities, and strengthened friendships with their classmates.

We were also honored to welcome two very special guests. Tatay Waway Saway, a Talaandig culture bearer, artist, and musician, shared his culture and artistic traditions with our students. Ate Evelinda Otong, a Yakan weaver and entrepreneur, introduced them to the beautiful tradition of Yakan weaving and the importance of preserving Indigenous culture.

This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn beyond the classroom while developing a deeper appreciation for the rich cultures and traditions of the Philippines. We sincerely thank Tatay Waway and Ate Evelinda for generously sharing their time, knowledge, and talents with us. A very special thank you to Mrs. CC Powers for making this meaningful and memorable experience possible for our students!

The elections are also over, and we are excited to introduce our Lower School Student Council for SY 2026–2027! A big round of applause to all the students who courageously ran for a position, and heartfelt congratulations to our newly elected Student Council representatives. We look forward to the wonderful ways you will lead and serve our school community this year!

As we look ahead, please remember that Spirit Week 2026 is coming soon!

Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Students who do not wish to dress up must wear their regular school uniform.
• Students must wear proper shoes each day. Flip-flops and Crocs are not permitted.
• Students who have PE should bring their PE uniforms to change into.

We look forward to seeing everyone’s creativity and school spirit throughout the week! Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership.

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend!
