Good afternoon Bobcats,
I can’t thank each of you enough for being the world’s best partners in education and for choosing to send your kiddos to ERA! 2024-2025 has been such a successful year in so many ways and I know that I speak for the staff when I say that we are looking forward to an even more successful and fun 2025-2026!! Have a great summer with your students and we will see you in August :)
Best,
Kristin

From STEM AND ART: Thank you for your crafty clean outs from spring cleaning! Over the summer, we’d love it if you could save cereal boxes and bottle/jug caps– they work well for so many projects.
Volunteer Snack Donations: Chick Fil A is providing our school with two days of volunteers to help with some projects on June 16th and 17th. We’d love to offer them some snacks while they help paint our blacktop, clean up campus and edge our new trail. If you can donate any packaged snacks, we’d appreciate the help. Snacks can be dropped off to the office before June 16th.
We also need to borrow some items to make the event possible. If you can let us borrow any of these tools/items, please email cpreddy@enoriveracademy.org to coordinate
Compost Update. We successfully started composting our food waste this year and look forward to another successful year, expanding the program to 9-12 so our whole campus reduces our waste. We avoided creating 134 pounds of methane gas and all we did was put our food waste in a different bin. See the attached report for more data from Brooks Contractors who pick up, weigh and compost our food scraps. If you are interested in at home composting, check out Orange County's site for great info!
Freshman Orientation: Mark your calendars for July 28th from 9 am - 1 pm for freshman orientation.

PTO Corner:
As we look to the 2025-2026 school-year, we have more opportunities for you to get involved! Below is a list of needs we have and how YOU can help!
You can sign up for any of these committees by emailing ERAPTO@enoriveracademy.org.
Grounds: Our grounds committee will work to help keep the school looking clean through clean-up/spruce-up days and working with student-led clubs to take on projects. We are in need of volunteers to help on scheduled clean-up days and other times during the year.
Grade Level Parent/Guardian: Next year, we hope to have one or two parents per grade to act as a liaison and community builder. We are in need of volunteers for each grade (K-11)!
Teacher Appreciation: We will host monthly events for staff and end with a Teacher Appreciation Week! We are in need of volunteers to help throughout the year and a liaison for the K-8 school!
School Community Event: We’d like to host a school-wide event to bring together our whole community - we need someone to help us lead this event as well as volunteers to make it happen!
Honor Roll Celebrations: We will continue to celebrate our Honor Roll students at the High School and add-in our 5-8 graders as well. We need someone to act as a liaison for this committee as well volunteers!
Career Fair: We need volunteers to help continue this successful event - we will need administrative help as well as recruiting speakers!
ERA Summer Camps
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.
