"Where is your jacket?"
There are LOTS of jackets, umbrellas, water bottles, and odds and ends waiting for their owners to reclaim them in Enatai's Lost and Found. This photo only shows some of the many items waiting for their owner!
The Lost and Found is located just past the office on the left when you enter the Lobby. Items in the Lost and Found will be donated over the Winter Break to charity so this is your last chance to retrieve them!

The Cornell University Chorus & Glee Club are coming to Enatai on January 9th. Parents are welcome to attend the assembly from 1:45 - 2:15pm.
Attention 5th Grade Parents!
Every month we coordinate a staff lunch that each grade takes turn hosting. Fifth grade will be hosting the next lunch on Wednesday, January 15th. The theme will be brunch. The staff very much look forward to these lunches and they are a great morale booster!
Join with other 5th Grade Parents to say thank you to all the staff members, past and present, who have made a difference in our students' lives. Contribute food, help setup or cleanup, or provide some decorations. Hot entrees are especially welcome!
Have an idea or question? Contact: staffappreciation@enataiptsa.org

What's the food share program? The Washington School Food Share Program was developed to help prevent and minimize wasted food in schools, and redirect consumable food to those who need. Enatai Elementary along with 9 other BSD elementary schools (Puesta del Sol, Spiritridge, Woodridge, Medina, Eastgate, Somerset, Cherry Crest, Newport Heights and Lake Hills) to helping recover food from the cafeteria and share it with those who need it most in our community. Parent volunteers delivered the collected food to the Bellevue Hopelink Food Bank.
The First Graders had a visit from Toymaker Rick Hartman last Wednesday (12/11) and had a blast making super creative wind powered cars that connect to their Air & Wind Science Unit.
Thanks so much to all the parents who volunteered to help out and to the PTSA for funding this in-school “field trip”!
Thank you, Enatai Families, for helping make our Cookie Blizzard a success!
A thank you banner from the staff is in the front office with messages of appreciation for the wonderful spread of cookies you all contributed!
