What a AMAZING event! The Agawam Family and Community Program, Agawam Rotary Club and Agawam Public Schools joined together to hold a Multicultural Festival at School Street Park. There was a story walk of the book, "All Are Welcome" written by Alexander Penfold, reading circles of books that were read both in English, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. Many cultures were represented and shared their traditions. The Rotarians handed out book bags filled with numerous books. Every child received a copy of the book, "All Are Welcome". Crafts were created and a gnome hunt too. What a great morning in Agawam!

Hi ECC and Agawam Families! Due to the ongoing situation with COVID, our schools are requiring additional and more extensive information when your child is absent. If your child is absent please notify the school with a specific reason for the absence, not just “sick”. Please be sure to speak to the school nurse if your child's absence is COVID related. Thank you.
