| The ECFE Advisory Council holds several one-time fund-raising events througout the year as well as the on-going fund-raising conducted through Scholastic Book Clubs. We raise money to support the ECFE in any way we can.
This year, the ECFE Advisory Council has set a goal for ourselves- improve the Handke playground. The playground is currently built to the standards of 5 to 12 year-old children. The Advisory Council is looking to make the playground more age-appropriate for our toddlers and preschoolers, making it safer and more enjoyable for all. Though there will undoubtedly be several phases to completing all the desired changes, some of them include: lowering the monkey bars; removing the fireman's poll & replacing it with a panel; replacing the steering wheels that were once on the panel in the tower; removing the rail track all together & putting a swing set in its place; and adding a bench for teachers and parents to keep a watchful eye on our little ones from. We hope you are as excited for these improvements as we are! None of these changes would be possible without your attendance to our events and your contributions. Thank you!

Maps were available at the ECFE Office & both Holiday Stations in Elk River. All map sites accepted your donations to help cover the display and map printing costs for the Parade of Lights.
