Enatai’s music teacher, Mrs. Peterson, needs help getting 25 Carnation flowers to be handed out to Veterans attending next week’s assembly.

Reminder: All students are encouraged to wear RED, WHITE, and BLUE on Wednesday, November 8th. The Veterans Day Assembly begins at 9:00 am in the Enatai gym.
Tami Kozimor is looking for parents to help escort kids from their classrooms to the vision testing area this coming Monday, November 6. She will need two volunteers from 8-10AM and two volunteers from 10-12 AM. Please use this signup if you are able to help this Monday!
Our next PTSA Board Meeting is on Wednesday, November 8 at 6:30 PM in the library, and you are invited! In addition to the regular Principal, Staff, and Treasurer reports, we will have reports from the following committees: Book fair, Read-A-Thon, Spooky Spaghetti/Haunted House, Toast To Enatai, Membership/Directory, Family Game Night, Technology, Room Parents, Staff Appreciation, Reflections, Math Adventure, and Curriculum Enhancement. Meetings typically last about 1-1.5 hours. Need to come late or leave early? Want to come but need to bring kids? That's all fine.
We have just completed moving our email provider from GoDaddy (which costs money), to Google For Non-Profits' GSuite Gmail (which is free for non-profits). There are many benefits of doing this, one of which is that we are now allowed an unlimited number of FREE @enataiptsa.org emails. If you have created an email account as the chair of an Enatai PTSA Program, please send an email to admin@enataiptsa.org and let us know so that we can bring you under the @enataiptsa.org umbrella. You won't lose any emails in this process and we can set your old email to forward to your new email so the old email will still "work" too. Thanks!
