This page is designated as a description of each event that takes place throughout the year. These descriptions are helpful for anyone who wishes to become a Chair or Co-Chair for an event. If there is a TBD, we are in need of a Chair person. All descriptions are brief and you will be given more information if you get chosen 

This page is NOT to sign up and volunteer for an event.

Each calendar event where volunteers are needed on the Main page will have a sign up button.

Every month the ELC has Birthday Bash to celebrate children who have birthdays in that particular month.  Decorations would be put up and games will be played. There are 2 parties during the day. In September we celebrate August and September and in June we celebrate June and July, as to not miss anyone's big day.  This is a service provided by the ELC PTA.
