Multicultural Week is coming to Enatai! March 25 through March 29th is Multicultural Week, a celebration of the diversity of Enatai's community. With multicultural decorations and displays of student submitted work, this week is a special time at Enatai.
Our family night, the International Taste of Enatai on Friday, March 29th features our Enatai families sharing food, crafts, and games from their cultural heritage and includes a "Fashion Show" of traditional regional clothing worn by children (and adults) on the Enatai Stage! This celebration of our community is not to be missed!

Come to our information meeting on March 5th at 8-9am in the STEM room, or email us: multicultural@enataiptsa.org.

Toymaker Rick Hartman came to Enatai twice in the last two weeks to make cool wooden toys with the 4th graders (on January 24th) and the Kindergarteners (on February 1st). The 4th graders tapped into their science learning about energy forces to make a top with a homemade motor. Kindergarteners used their budding science knowledge about wood and pushes and pulls to make a slide toy. Thanks to the PTSA for funding the Toymaker's visits and for the many parent volunteers for helping this popular in-school "field trip" run smoothly!
