Hi, Enatai students, teachers, families, friends and community! This year our student leadership team have worked with Ms Uselman and Julie Uyeda to help organize the Hopelink's End Summer Hunger Program. The program goes for a week starting this Monday. How can you help? It's easy! 1. Ask your students to bring home their coin bag and then check your students backpack for the coin collection bag. 2. Start collecting coins (every coin counts!). 3. Send the coin bag back with your student to put in their classroom jar next week (deadline Friday June 14). 4. You can also make online donations to support our Enatai Elementary Student Page and share this link with friends.
Don't forget every coin counts! Go Eagles!
Come join the students for Field Day on Tuesday June 11th from 1-2pm. Marnie Kazarian (PE teacher) has created a new line up of Hawaiian themed activities. It will be a fun-filled afternoon playing different games/activities with our students! We have a few stations without volunteers. If you are available Tuesday afternoon, please sign up to help!

Meet with Principal Amy MacDonald and Enatai PTSA at the monthly Principal and PTSA Coffee Hour.
Topic: Enatai Elementary's School Improvement Plan
When: Wednesday, June 12th at 8:00-9:00am
Where: Enatai STEM Room
For the last coffee of the year, we invite all parents to contribute to the Enatai Elementary School Improvement Plan (SIP). Through the SIP process, schools reflect on their goals, assess their progress and strategies, and refine their approach as needed. The end result is the school’s roadmap for achieving excellence and providing each and every child with an exemplary college preparatory education. - BSD
Community involvement in the creation of the SIP is vital as it contributes another view of the school's progress and family needs. Please come and give parent feedback as we continue to strive to improve student and family experience at Enatai!
The Enatai PTSA invites you and your family to attend our school Carnival on Friday, June 14th, from 5-8pm!

Ms Maxwell and Ms Greytak's second grade classes at Enatai were treated to a fun and educational hike on Cougar Mountain earlier this month when they toured the site where early Bellevue settlers mined coal. Thanks to a grant from the Bellevue Schools Foundation, students were able to learn about early mining towns, view coal seams, and see the foundations of buildings from 100 years ago. Led by members of the Eastside Heritage Center and King County Parks, students hiked trails to see where railroads transported coal, learned how mines were built and ventilated, and investigated how the geography and landscape of the mining area have changed over time. The trip tied in with 2nd grade units on the history of Bellevue and the science unit on physical geography. Ms Beba and Ms Winbush's classes will have their turn experiencing this fun field trip on Monday!
The annual Sasquatch Reading Challenge asks Third Graders to read books on their Sasquatch "Bingo Board" drawn from a wide variety of authors, genres, and types. This fun challenge gets students to read, think, and talk about books. This year we had 80 participants, of which 10 students read 15-24 books and 33 students completed all 25 books. A grand total of 1,242 books were read (and quizzes passed)!
As the school year comes to a close, the Enatai PTSA wanted to take this time to thank all of our 2018-19 Enatai PTSA Corporate Partners in Education! It's really exciting to see local businesses demonstrate their commitment to improving the lives and education for each and every student at Enatai Elementary school. And thank you to Julie Uyeda for chairing this important program!Golden Eagle Partners ($1000+)

Interested in supporting programs and events at Enatai that you value? Each year our graduating 5th grade class takes their parents with them to middle school, leaving positions open. Here is an updating list of events/programs without Chairs for the upcoming year. Without a Chair, these events and programs run the risk of being cancelled next year! Other positions could use a Co-Chair partner or a Shadow, who learns from the existing Chairs before they leave for middle school the following year.
Email us with questions or come by the PTSA table at Carnival for more information.

BOXTOPS FOR EDUCATION
It is time for the FINAL Box Tops for Education round up for this school year. This school year we have collected $292 worth of box tops? This money helps the school purchase recess equipment.
LIBRARY MESSAGE IN BRIEF
If you have any books you would like to donate to our year end book swap in the library, I am accepting donations until Friday June 14. This event will be happening in library class (K-4th grade) on the last full week of school.
All books need to be returned by Monday, June 10 so that I can inventory the library. From June 10 to June 19, I am looking for help in the library to inventory 11,000+ books. The first few days would entail helping to get all of the books on the shelves in order. After that, it’s scanning each book to determine which ones are lost. If you have any time in the day to help out, please contact me. I would be most appreciative.
See new listings below. Find the full list of Community Corner offerings on our website.
