Enatai West Zone Orchestra Concert and West Zone Band Concert 3/20

On Thursday, Feb 28, our Enatai Orchestra performed at the West Zone Orchestra Concert.  Our beginning orchestra students played several songs and then listened to the secondary students play.  The progress that occurs in our music programs in middle school and high school is tremendous.  I encourage your students to all continue participating in music throughout their school career. The benefits of making music are many, including supporting strong academics and having a positive impact on student’s social emotional health.

Congratulations to the Enatai Orchestra!

On Wednesday, March 20, our Enatai Band will perform in the West Zone Band Concert.  The concert will be at Chinook Middle School at 7:00 pm.  Come out and support on band students! 

Good luck, Enatai Band!

 

Multicultural Week & International Taste of Enatai 3/25-3/29

2005 It's a Small World2015 It's a Small World Family Night

Message from Multicultural Co-Chair, Rae Okamoto:
Since my twins started kindergarten at Enatai Elementary in 2015, my family has loved Multicultural family night.  That first year we went to the gym of Old Enatai and was overwhelmed by the sense of community.  Everyone was there and everyone found something to enjoy.  There was the food, the crafts, the fashion show, and friends everywhere!  Each year my family has enjoyed this event.  While the elements are the same, it is the people who come and what they share that make each year's Multicultural family night new and exciting.  

We invite all our Enatai families to come to the 2019 Multicultural family night, the International Taste of Enatai, to share your heritage with our community and celebrate our diversity by bringing food, creating a display, hosting a game or craft, dressing for the Fashion Show, or bringing a cultural performance to the Enatai stage!

Contribute to the International Taste of Enatai 3/29
or volunteer to help

More information:  Multicultural Week + International Taste of Enatai webpage.  Email us: multicultural@enataiptsa.org
Extended Deadline:  Student Worksheets may be submitted until March 21st!
Every family is a part of our celebration!
