Doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers, military service, firemen, and policemen were just a few of the professions chosen by students at the Early Childhood Center to celebrate Career Day on Thursday, October 26. Students were encouraged to dress up as their favorite career as part of the Red Ribbon Week festivities. This was the first year the ECC hosted a "Career Day" and after the success and fun it will likely become a tradition during Red Ribbon Week.
On Monday, October 30, the ECC will celebrate the "50th Day of School" by asking students to come dressed in 50's style clothing. Teachers and staff will also be dressed up and many 50's activities such as hula hooping will be going on to help celebrate.
