Good afternoon Bobcats!
I hope you all had a great weekend, please see the information below and let me know if you have any questions!

Updates:
Intent to Return (Required for all ERA students):
Every January we ask our families to indicate whether they wish their current students to return to Eno River Academy during the following school year in our annual Intent to Return form. The deadline to complete is January 26. We use the online software called ScribChoice to collect this data for both current students and new, hopeful siblings. See the linked letter for directions. Intent to Return Scribbles Parent Letter
Girls on the Run:
Registration is open for Girls on the Run for 3rd- 5th graders! Practices will be Monday and Fridays after school until 4:30 starting Feb. 26th and end with a 5K on May 18th. No need to be athletic - everyone goes at their own pace and practices include encouraging social emotional curriculum. We are excited to have some awesome coaches including Ms. Pattison and Ms. Patrick! Reach out to us with any questions (meganbanigan1@yahoo.com or meganleerobertson@gmail.com).
Parent Night Out:
Mrs. Mincey and Mrs. Irrgang are hosting ERA's next Parents Night Out on Friday, Feb. 23 for K-5 students. Please see the flyer attached if you are interested in signing your child up. This is also the night of the Middle School Dance! If you have middle AND elementary aged kids, let your younger children stay with us while their siblings are at the dance! We can't wait to hang out with your child and give you a much deserved break!!
Middle School Dance:
We are hosting a Middle School Dance on Friday, February 23 in the middle school gym. The dance will be $5 to attend and you can bring extra money for snacks and drinks! A sign up genius will be coming soon if you would like to volunteer to help with the dance.
Hot Lunch Update:
We wanted to let you know that Noodles & Co is changing the cost of their Mac and Cheese. The new price will take effect 1/31/24. All future orders for Mac and Cheese were canceled and credited. If you had ordered that item, you should have received an email about the credits. Your credit does not expire and will automatically apply to your next checkout. If you would like to reorder at the new price, please log-in to your My Hot Lunchbox account to do so.
We are incredibly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. Please reach out to us at 888-894-8295 or info@myhotlunchbox.com if you have any questions or concerns.
Blood Drive:
There is an urgent need in our community for blood donations and our Future Medical Professionals club drive this week was unfortunately canceled due to our late start on Wednesday.
Good News! Our Blood Drive is rescheduled for FRIDAY, 01/26/24.
The blood drive is open for sign up to donate blood on the American Red Cross website. Thanks to all for your consideration.
Bobcat Annual Fund:
If you would like to donate, Eno River Academy is a 501(c)(3) corporation (EIN # 04-3753649) and contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law. We accept checks, money orders, and PayPal (@enoriveracademy).
