The 2019 RUN, WALK, & ROLL Packet went home in student's backpacks early this week! It has all the details on this FUN event, including how to use our online fundraising system, PledgeStar.com/Enatai. Use this system as a convenient way to help us reach our fundraising goals. Students will run, walk, or roll during their lunch recess on Wednesday, May 15th. Parents are welcome to attend! This year EVERY participating student will be given a RUN, WALK, & ROLL t-shirt!
Please contact Jesse Pacem with any additional questions. For more information on Enatai's Fundraising Plan, please read our Fundraising 101 webpage. For more information about our RUN, WALK, & ROLL fundraiser please visit the Run, Walk, & Roll webpage. Thank you, Enatai!
Every year, the Enatai PTSA recognizes and celebrates a few of the wonderful people who help to make our vibrant school community great by giving out The Golden Acorn Award, The Outstanding Educator Award, and new this year, The Unsung Hero award.
We would love to have your help in the nominating process. Do you know a special person who goes above and beyond, or even one who quietly supports our community without much fanfare? Do you know someone else whose efforts deserve special recognition this year? We'd love to hear about them! Please take a moment to fill out this anonymous nomination form. This survey will close on May 17th and the awards will be announced at the Carnival on June 14th.
Fifth Grade is a special time for students at Enatai: 5th Graders can look forward to their own special activities and events. Many of these activities are exclusive to 5th Grade and are the responsibility of the 5th Grade families!
Come hear a proposal for next year's 5th Grade Haunted House fundraiser and bring your own ideas to the table! Funds from this event fuel most 5th Grade special activities and planning starts ASAP! Other events we will briefly discuss are 5th Grade Sweatshirts, our Carnival booth, fulfilling Yearbook needs for the special 5th Grade section, and other activities reliant on the families in our grade.
This meeting is presented by some of your fellow 4th Grade Parents with help from the 5th Grade Teachers, PTSA, and past and current 5th Grade Parents. Get filled in on the information we have gathered and join us in getting organized for next year!
