A Message From Our PTA President
Dear All,
I’ll keep my message short this time — we need more time to enjoy the wonderful weather, the final weeks of school, and the feeling of summer in the air. Take a moment (yes, you can!) and think of one small thing from this school year that made you smile. Then smile again.
Now, onward with the end-of-year preparations! There is so much happening for everyone — promotions, graduations, summer camp registrations, work, packing, moving, organizing summer logistics, and carefully searching the calendar for those very limited opportunities for one last coffee, lunch, or dinner before the school year ends with the friends we’ve made in this community.
And while you’re at it, check out After Hours, a collection of stories written by our own amazing SUPA Creative Nonfiction students. You can pick up a copy at Mustang Market—and hopefully the night never ends, because there’s lots of reading to do!
Hugs,
Indre

To The '25-'26 ELC PTA Team: Izumi, Sayumi, Cindy, Fumie, Hanako, Ivy, Yumi and Ryuta --
As we wrap up the school year, I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your hard work, creativity, and support throughout the year. I truly loved working alongside this team, and I’m so proud of everything we accomplished together to help build such a warm and connected ELC community. More than anything, I just had so much fun with all of you. Thank you for always showing up, jumping in to help, and making this such a special year. I’m really grateful to have been part of this team. – Jenna Holdgrafer
