2019 Back to School Rally
ECEA’s make-it, take-it activity at the annual back to school rally. Students and parents got to make stress balls. We also had other goodies to pass out. Even some of our new teachers joined in the fun and sat in the dunk tank. What good sports. We love EC. Thanks to all ECEA members who helped at the event.
