We’re excited for all the special 5th Grade events that will happen this year. Haunted House and Spooky Spaghetti is coming right up, so we’d like to meet to help get a jump on things.

Please join us for a back to school play date at Enatai's Covered Area on Sunday, September 8th at 5:00pm. Bring the kids and your lawn chairs.   While the kids play, we can talk about Haunted House and Spooky Spaghetti and other events for the year!
