It takes many volunteers to make the book fair a success. Thankfully, volunteering at the book fair is easy and fun. Please use this link to sign up. If you have questions, please email book fair chairs Julie Uyeda or Leslie Howard.
CELEBRATE ENATAI AT 65 FEATURED IN NEWSPAPER; SCHOOL TO RECEIVE HONORS
Excitement is building for CELEBRATE ENATAI AT 65, our upcoming event to mark the 65th anniversary of our school, which will be held February 6, 6:00-8:00 p.m. The Bellevue Reporter featured an article last Friday on page 10 of its print edition. An online version of the article was also posted on the Reporter’s website, and it was trending as the site’s #1 “Most Read” article recently.
In honor of Enatai’s 65th, the school will also be receiving official congratulatory proclamations from the City of Bellevue, as well as from King County. These will be presented during a brief ceremony at the start of CELEBRATE ENATAI. Members of the Enatai Choir will perform.
Will you please help spread the word about this event by posting a link to the CELEBRATE ENATAI Facebook page on your own Facebook page?: https://www.facebook.com/events/1384264538369611/
