FUN, orientation and gnome hunting at the ECC! Students and their families had the opportunity to visit the ECC, meet their teachers and visit classrooms. They also had fun completing a gnome hunt. Each gnome held a flag of a different country representing families that make up the Agawam school community. It was gnome FUN!
Hello ECC families! We cannot wait to see you at our orientations this week.
Granger ECC Tuesday, 9/7
8:50-9:50 AM session
12:30-1:30 PM session
ECC Perry Lane Wednesday, 9/8
9:00-10:00 AM session
1:00-2:00 PM session
Orientation is an opportunity for you and your child to meet your child’s teacher, classroom teams and see the classroom. This is a great time for children to become acquainted with their teacher and their school. We also have a fun gnome scavenger hunt for you to take part in with your child. :)
There will be an auction to take a chance and win some fun gnomes and backpacks. For each non perishable food item you bring in to donate you will receive one ticket to be entered into a drawing for a gnome or backpack. (One item = 1 ticket, 2 items = 2 tickets, 5 items = 5 tickets….you get the idea.) We will be donating to a local food pantry. This is a part of our community collaboration. Don't forget to bring in your family quilt paper piece that was included in your assignment letter. We are making an ECC community quilt. See you soon!
Recently, the ECC team met to plan for our upcoming school year. We were asked to build a structure using spaghetti. What!? But we conquered it!Through communication, collaboration, thinking outside the "spaghetti box" and teamwork we did it! Teamwork makes the dream work! We are so excited to welcome back our students and families. See you soon Agawam ECC!
What's the BUZZ? The Agawam community has BEEs BUZZing on their lawns. So much fun! Do you want to send a BUZZ? Call the ECC 413-821-0597.
The ECC summer bootcamp wrapped up last week. On the last day Miss Debbie's and Miss April's students celebrated by making shaved ice. It was a yummy treat on a warm day! Can't you tell by the smiles?
Agawam is "BUZZing" with hives of bees. But, don't worry...this is a fundraiser for the ECC. :) Do you want to send a "BUZZ"?
Let's have some BUZZING fun! Do you want to send a FUN message to a family member, friend, neighbor or co-worker? Send a "hive" of bees with a message that tells them "You've Been BUZZED!" This is a FUNdraiser for the ECC. Contact Cindy at 413-821-0597 or csykes@agawamed.org for more information.
Good morning ECC families! We hope you are enjoying your summer time. Have you been anxiously awaiting the letter informing you of who your child's teacher is in September? Do not worry as we will be sending them out the first week of August. In the meantime if you have any questions do not hesitate to call Miss Cindy at the ECC at 413-821-0597 or email csykes@agawamed.org.
Good morning Agawam! The sun is up at the ECC. We hope you are enjoying your summer months.
Students in Miss Debbie's, Miss Pam's, Miss Alicia's and Miss Tina's classroom decorated aprons today using their feet. They painted a bee. "Way to BEE at the ECC!"
How do we stay cool at the ECC? Students had some water and bubble fun under our tent. Check out these happy, smiling and cool faces.
Way to BEE at the ECC! As a part of our PBIS model, our students earn parts of a bee in their individual classrooms. Then they add bees to our whole school hive. We are happy to announce, we filled the top portion and it is time to celebrate our accomplishments! Miss Laura's class is shown in the picture. They earned and placed the last bee.
What a beautiful day to be enjoying the fresh air and playing/learning outside. Students from the ECC had a great time during their gross motor time. Smiles were a plenty!
ECC student, Umar F. brought in and shared two books with his class about the holiday, Ramadan. His classroom teacher, Miss Laura read the stories to the class. Great job Umar!
Good morning ECC families! Please see the link below for a note from Nurse Anna. Have a nice Friday!

The AMAZING Agawam Lions Club has "stepped up" to donate step stools to the ECC. Pun intended! To pay it forward, the students, families and staff at the ECC have been collecting toiletry items to donate to the Club's Caring Closet. Items such as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, hand sanitizer, deodorant, etc. have been donated. For each item a student donated, they received a ticket to enter into a drawing to try and win a gigantic Mr. Incredible balloon. In the picture is our winner, Robert and his brother, Clark. The ECC is still collecting toiletry items until Friday, May 21st.
The ECC staff has been spoiled this week in recognition of Teacher Appreciation Week. The ECC Parent Advisory Council reached out to ECC families in search of donations to celebrate our staff. They provided a special treat every day this week. Staff were treated to breakfast, plants, ice cream, sunglasses, positive messages, and Friday's treat is a surprise...shhhh! We want to thank all the families for thinking of us. We are so very grateful!
We had some feathery friends visit the ECC today. Miss Melinda brought in some baby chicks to share with the students. The students loved seeing and learning about them. Thank you Miss Melinda!
We are very happy on this Monday morning at the ECC. We are working 3 ft apart and wearing our masks. It's a great place to be!
We are busy bees at the ECC! Welcome back to 4 days everyone! Enjoy these pictures of our students, families, staff and the ECC.
