Good morning,
I hope you all had a great weekend! Seeing so many of you at the Children's Market on Saturday was wonderful. Congratulations to Mrs. Hover for organizing the event and thank you all for the support.
Here are this week's updates and reminders:
1. Board of Directors Open Seat: The board has an opening beginning in February 2024. The application, which contains further information, is attached. If you have any questions, you can reach out to Dave Nagel at dnagel@enoriveracademy.org.
2. Spirit Week: Please join us next week as we celebrate winter break by showing our holiday spirit. The calendar is attached.
3. Donations for Needy Families: Sadly, our number of needy families has increased again this year. If you would like to donate a gift card for those in need, please drop it off at K-8 no later than December 12th. Walmart and Target gift cards are best so families can purchase food, clothing and/or gifts. Thank you for your generosity. If you are in need and would like to be included, please email me directly. Your information will be kept confidential.
4. Cookies and Cocoa: Let's show some staff appreciation with Cookies and Cocoa! Please consider sending in donations to help ERA staff kick off the holiday break. Here is the sign up genius. Thank you so much!!!

7. Food Drive: Eno River has been recognized as a Special Olympics Champion School. Part of being a champion school is having ALL students work together for a common purpose. During this season of giving, we will be teaming up with PORCH to collect canned goods and nonperishable foods to give back to our community. PORCH is an amazing organization that has several outlets to get food to those in need in Hillsborough and Orange County. A flyer is attached with further information.
8. Holiday Gifts for Specials Teachers: If you are interested in contributing to holiday gifts for our awesome K-5 Specials Teachers this year, please Venmo ScottHaileRobertson by this Friday, December 8th. Any amount is appreciated! Included at a parent's request.
Have a great week!
