Good afternoon Bobcats!
I hope you all had a great weekend and are enjoying a little bit cooler weather! Please see below for any updates and as always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns.
Updates:
Clothing Drive
The Children’s Clothing Closet would love your donations of gently used clothing and shoes to benefit families in need. Sizes in most need are: 6 up through youth 18 and shoe sizes child 12 through adult 8. Collection bins are in the main office and will be there through October 13!
*Time-Sensitive*: Keyboards Needed for Piano Class– Did you know that ERA added a Group Piano class to our electives? The class has a waitlist and we want it to be available to more students, but we need your help! Right now, we only have 10 piano keyboards in the room, and if we can get more, we can grow the program! Click here to donate to Mrs. Spencer’s DonorsChoose project to get four new keyboards for the piano lab. We only have until October 11th to get it funded, and still have a long way to go. We are so grateful for your generosity! If you have any questions or have a keyboard or piano to donate, please contact Mrs. Spencer directly at rspencer@enoriveracademy.org. To see what the piano class has been up to this year, you can click here and/or come to their concert October 25 at 6pm.
App State Rep Visit Friday, September 29th
Our local App State rep will be visiting from 10:00-10:30 AM on Friday, September 29 in the conference room next to the front office. If you are interested in speaking with her please stop by during that time. Make sure you check in with your CATS teacher before going.
