A few years ago when Mrs. Lyn Faulds left our school, we made a promise to her to keep supporting her beloved Camp Trillium/Campfire Circle.  Mrs. Faulds has a BIG LOVE for this camp and had shared that with ELES and the Watford community over the years by collecting money during various events and keeping it in a giant pickle jar until it overflowed.   We have created our own PAY IT FORWARD Pickle Jar and we hope to FILL IT UP!  

A few brave ELES LIONS have agreed to get a Pie in the Face if their own jar has the most money in it.   Students can donate money to the jars of the student or staff they would love to see get pied!

Online donations will not count towards the Pie in the Face fun at ELES, but will MOST DEFINITELY count towards the fun at Campfire Circle for all those brave children and their families struggling through the challenges of childhood illnesses.  

A bit about Campfire Circle:

A diagnosis of childhood cancer changes life in an instant. For kids and families, it can suddenly feel like everything is about cancer. Simple childhood joys like friendships, birthday parties, or sports teams being left behind in the need for medical appointments, hospital stays, and long absences from school. Whether it’s in a hospital setting, in the community, online or at overnight camp, Campfire Circle fills the void, creating safe spaces for kids to be kids, so families can be families, at no cost to them. It’s where curiosity and confidence, bravery and acceptance come to play, and healing through happiness is on the agenda, every day, and in every way! Kids and families are never alone, because there’s always room for one more in the circle. Your support ensures that Campfire Circle's programs continue to reach 1,500+ kids and their families every year. Your gift will make life-changing experiences possible.
