East Sac County Community School District

This is cool! Our East Sac County first graders and their parents participated in a December "Read In". Our students have been working hard in the area of reading and wanted to showcase their parents what they have learned. During the "Parent Read In" the parents had the opportunity to hear our students recite 2 poems and sing a song about the Polar Express. Once the students were finished with their presentation they enjoyed snacks and read some good books with their family! As a school district we truly appreciate the parent involvement and commitment to learning we have at East Sac County!

Tis the season for giving to others without thinking about ourselves, and with that in mind two East Sac County 8th graders led an idea for an Angel Tree for gift donations in the school!! Hayden Fahrenkrog and Kylie Rudd came up to Mr. Tedesco with the idea and quickly worked to game plan how it could be done. With the help of Gail Eischeid from the local food pantry we were able to find 21 individuals who could use a little help around the holidays. The pictures show the vehicle full of gifts and some we still had on the cart. We are so proud of our students for their initiative, thoughtfulness and follow through with this great idea and for our student body and staff for getting the gifts and returning them on time for these families!!!
