TOMORROW NIGHT!
East Sac County Families,
I want to make sure you're aware of an excellent opportunity for our parents and community members tomorrow evening, January 7th.
Joe Beckman will be presenting to our ESC community at 6:30 PM at the JH/HS, following his sessions with our students earlier that day. Students who are in 3rd grade or older are also welcome and encouraged to attend the Parent/Community presentation with their parents if they wish.
More information about the presentation can be found in the pictures and in the video message Joe recorded specifically for ESC.
In addition, a free meal will be served at 6:00 PM for those attending prior to the presentation.
The topics Joe will address are meaningful, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding presenter for both students and adults. He previously spoke to our students in 2024, and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive.
We are grateful to the local organizations whose generosity made Joe's presentations and the meal possible: Swing Fore the Kids, ESC PTO, Sac Education Foundation, and the Lake View Black Hawk Men's Club.
Please make plans to join us if you're able. Thank you, and enjoy the rest of your break!
Nate Hemiller
Superintendent
East Sac County CSD
