Blast April

Good afternoon Bobcats,


Between recess, PE and STEM we are all spending time outdoors, and some of that time is in the wooded areas. Please check for ticks regularly through the remainder of the school year!


We hope to see you at the Art Show and the Middle School performance of Honk, Junior - TOMORROW!!!


Please join us at the Bobcat Bonanza on Saturday!  The silent auction is LIVE!!!


Looking forward to seeing you all this week and celebrating our talented students,

Kristin

What you might have missed:

Spring Cleaning? K8 Specials are looking for some odds and ends from around your house. Check out the flyer to see if you have any of these things they can use in their classes.


Summer Camps at ERA: If you are interested in your student(s) attending camps, click on this live Google Doc and check back every couple of weeks to see the exciting camps that have been added!

To register for camps, just open the live Google Doc and click on the "Registration Form" link for the camp you want to sign your student up for. That will take you to the online registration and waiver form. The registration deadline for each camp is 30 days before the camp starts, so don't wait too long to register! For payment, we are using GiveButter, an online donation platform. The link to pay for any ERA summer camps is here. Since this is technically a donation, the cost of camp is tax deductible! 

If you have a high school student interested in being a camp counselor for $15 an hour, they should contact Mr. Belton at dbelton@enoriveracademy.org.
