Have you seen the 40th anniversary banners?

Thank you to Friends of ECR for the fantastic banners on the light poles around El Camino. FOECR is always looking for ways to promote school and community spirit and the banners are just one example. They celebrate 40 years of excellence in not just academics, but sports, arts, and everything else. If you haven't driven by school lately, come by and check out the banners (and remember they are not just in front of the school, but down Burbank Blvd. as well).

A hugh thank you to Jackie Keene from the Friends of ECR who is organizing the endeavor and all the others who put in the time and effort on the cleanup.
