🍎❤️ HELP US TREAT OUR AMAZING TEACHERS! ❤️🍎

Parent-Teacher Conferences are just around the corner, and our wonderful ECE teachers will be putting in some extra-long hours to meet with families! We want to make sure they're well-fed and feeling appreciated! 🥰

Your ECE PTA is providing the main dishes for a delicious dinner, but we'd LOVE your help rounding out the meal with drinks, sides, and desserts! 🥤🥗🍪

This is a wonderful opportunity to show our teachers a little extra love and appreciation for everything they do for our students each and every day! ❤️

❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR 2026–2027 ECE PTA CORPORATE SPONSORS!! ❤️

We are incredibly excited to recognize some AMAZING local businesses that have gone above and beyond to support our English Crossing Elementary students this school year!

Thanks to the generosity of our wonderful corporate sponsors, our ECE PTA was able to purchase a FREE spirit wear shirt for EVERY SINGLE STUDENT at English Crossing Elementary! That's a whole lot of Cougar Pride, and we couldn't have made it happen without these incredible businesses!

🐾 COUGAR MAROON SPONSORS 🐾

🚂 Acro Machining Inc
🚂 Peggy Costley - Windermere Real Estate

We are SO grateful to both of these businesses for their generous contributions and commitment to our students! Their support has made a meaningful difference in our school community, and we cannot thank them enough!

🌟🏆 COUGAR ELITE SPONSOR 🏆🌟

🍪 Crumbl – Smokey Point

We are especially excited to recognize Crumbl of Smokey Point as our VERY FIRST Cougar Elite Sponsor in our ECE PTA history!! 🎉 This is an exciting milestone for our PTA, and we are absolutely blown away by their extraordinary generosity and willingness to invest in our students!

❤️ Every single one of these businesses played an important role in making our spirit wear shirts possible. Their generosity is a wonderful reminder of just how lucky we are to have such a supportive local community!

👕 Be sure to check out the BACK of your student's Color Blast Fun Run shirt to see these amazing businesses proudly represented!

And most importantly, PLEASE SHOW THESE BUSINESSES SOME LOVE, JUST LIKE THEY'VE SHOWN OUR STUDENTS! Whether it's supporting their businesses, recommending them to friends and family, or simply thanking them for their generosity, let's show them how much our ECE community appreciates their support!!

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU, Acro Machining, Inc., Properties with Peggy, and Crumbl of Smokey Point!!
