Enatai Families,

 

We would like to thank those parents who attended the PTSA general meeting last Tuesday.  We voted in our new nominating committee--Joy Page, Nancye Matheson, and Lynne Pogue.  We appreciate their dedication to finding capable and eager volunteers to serve on next year's board. We also had the opportunity to hear from our school's ITCL, Kim Moshier, and learn how her role impacts student learning at Enatai.  Dr. Meyers announced our two newly- hired aides, Tom Tandy and Stacy Cha--both of whom are certificated teachers! We welcome their expertise in our school. Enjoy the winter weather, and stay warm!

 

Sincerely, Your PTSA Presidents
