Coffee and Conversation – Let’s Schmooze Live
Please join me for coffee and conversation on February 5th at drop off, 8:35am or at 6pm in the evening. Instead of dropping your learner off and leaving, please stay or come back after work to share what is on your mind about Elysian.
Please bring your ideas, thoughts, dreams and questions to share with me. Let’s have a candid conversation in person.
As we head into the new semester, I’d love to have the opportunity to hear what is on your mind.
Mark your calendar – 2/5 at 8:35am or 6pm. Be there or be square.

Do you have an item, experience, or special opportunity you’d like to donate to Friends of Elysian for our upcoming 2019 Party and Auction?
Or, would you be willing to ask local stores, restaurants, and business contacts for items?
Our goal is to have a variety of items that can help raise significant funds for the school and we can only do that with your help. We are ideally seeking new items or special experiences, valued at roughly $200 or more. (However, if something is less than that, unique, or you are unsure of the value, please don't hesitate to contact us.)
Additionally, if you'd be willing to help in the procurement of items from local businesses, please drop us a line at the email address above so we can get you started.
Please know that while we hope to be able to include all donations, we may not be able to accommodate all items, or may need to group items together.
Thank you very much for your consideration of this request and for your support!

Elysian Summer Camp is back for the 2019 summer season!! We would like to gauge interest to possibly extend our camp to run for a 4-week period. Please complete the Summer Camp survey below to help us better prepare for what promises to be another awesome camp experience!

| A note about attendance: The New Jersey State Law is very specific about school attendance. By law, children are expected to be in school every day unless they are ill. There is no room in the law or regulations to excuse any children who have prior plans. We must mark all children absent who are not in attendance.
