BB February

Good afternoon Bobcats,


It was a great day back at ERA!  We just have a few weeks until Spring Break, and then we’re in the homestretch to the end of the year.  I hope you are all staying healthy during this crazy flu and covid season.  If your students are out sick, don’t forget to send their teacher and Mrs. Triplett an email to get those absences excused.


Best,

Kristin

Summer Camps at ERA: If you are interested in your student(s) attending camps, click on this live Google Doc and check back every couple of weeks to see the exciting camps that have been added!

To register for camps, just open the live Google Doc and click on the "Registration Form" link for the camp you want to sign your student up for. That will take you to the online registration and waiver form. The registration deadline for each camp is 30 days before the camp starts, so don't wait too long to register! For payment, we are using GiveButter, an online donation platform. The link to pay for any ERA summer camps is here. Since this is technically a donation, the cost of camp is tax deductible!
