Today our learners brought science to life as we launched our very first Makerspace session of the school year!
Building on their in-class exploration of the force of electricity, learners got hands-on in the lab to design and begin building their own electric race cars. The energy in the room was electric as they connected classroom theory with real-world application.
But we're just getting started! Next week, we’ll continue the session to finish the builds and test the speed of each car in a friendly race to see engineering in action. 🏁⚙️

Yesterday marked a pivotal moment for our student interns as they take the next step toward their professional journey! During our Match Day Ceremony, we proudly paired talented, driven learners with dedicated community partners who will mentor, challenge, and inspire them throughout their internship experience.
These matches are more than placements; they’re opportunities to learn, lead, and leave a lasting impact. Interns will gain hands-on experience, deepen their knowledge, and contribute meaningfully to organizations working to make a difference in our communities. Congratulations to all of our interns and Thank You to all of our partners!

Today, our K–12 learners participated in an exciting Virtual STEM Day filled with hands-on exploration and discovery! 🧪🔬
The spotlight was on the lungs 🫁, and learners engaged in 4 interactive activities that brought science to life in meaningful ways. From exploring how lungs function to creating models and observing experiments, every learner had the chance to think, create, and discover.
A huge THANK YOU to our amazing teachers and staff for guiding and supporting our learners throughout the day—and to our learners for showing curiosity, energy, and excitement for STEM!
We are proud to see our learners actively involved in science learning that inspires future innovators. 🌍✨

We are excited to announce that all K–12 learners will participate in a Virtual STEM Day with STEM NOLA on Thursday, September 11, 2025, from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. This engaging event will give our learners the opportunity to explore hands-on STEM activities focused on the lungs and the respiratory system. The learners will:
Gain a deeper understanding of how the lungs function and their role in the body.
Label the different parts of the lung and describe their functions.
Construct a mechanical lung model that closely resembles the real organ.

🌟 Bright Start at ELC! 🌟
Every morning at ELC, our learners begin their day with a boost of literacy fun! As they enter the building, they’re greeted with engaging sight words and letter recognition activities that help build early reading confidence and set a positive tone for the day. Whether they’re identifying letters, sounding out words, or proudly recognizing familiar favorites, it’s all about making learning joyful from the moment they walk through the door.
Early literacy begins with simple routines, and at ELC, we turn every moment into a learning opportunity! #sthelenawinning

Our teachers and staff are fully engaged in professional development—grounded in this year’s powerful theme: Systems, Structures, Processes, and Outcomes.
We're aligning around what matters most: building strong foundations that lead to real results for learners.
These PD sessions aren’t just meetings—they’re mission-driven work that ensures consistency, clarity, and impact across every classroom. The commitment is real, and the energy is high.

Good morning from our Pre-K classroom!
We’re starting the day with one of our favorite routines — name writing practice! It’s a fun and important way for our little learners to build confidence, fine motor skills, and recognize their own names.
