Kindness doesn’t need a special occasion — but we’re happy to celebrate one anyway. At E2CCB, we’ve seen it grow in real ways this year, from simple everyday gestures to the Forests of Gratitude that have been popping up at our sites and centers the past few months.
Today’s a great reminder that small moments matter. A quick thank-you, a shared smile, or a note of appreciation can go a long way. Let’s keep that kindness going — today and every day. 💙

"Special thanks to the staff and volunteers at the Board of Elections for allowing the P-TECH students to observe the election process," Principal Jeffrey Teluk said. "This helped to reinforce the importance of civic responsibility for our young adults."
A big shoutout as well to the Operations and Maintenance team for opening the building early and staying late to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Honoring Our Veterans at LoGuidice!
Mrs. Johnson’s class has been hard at work creating a bulletin board to honor the veterans connected to our students and staff. Each star proudly displays the name of a veteran submitted by members of the LoGuidice school community.
As part of their Veterans Day learning, students also completed several lessons about the importance of this day and the sacrifices made by those who serve. To show their appreciation, the class will be writing heartfelt thank-you letters to local veterans, which will be delivered to the local VA.
