Good afternoon Bobcats,
I hope that you all had a fantastic fall break! Second quarter is such an exciting time with a change in weather, sports season and some of my favorite holidays so we’re going to kick it off with a spirit week beginning next Monday. Looking forward to some fun and learning throughout second quarter!
Have a great week,
Kristin
Congratulations & Good Things:
The courtyard blacktop has had another upgrade! Pickleball court and additional lines on the basketball court have been added. Thanks to Ms. Preddy and her helpers!!!
Elementary school students experienced fall creek days the week before break and it was amazing to see all of the specimens they were able to collect to determine the health of the stream behind the school. Great job, everyone!!

Athletics Fundraising (Booster) Interest Meeting:
Date: Wednesday 10/29
Time: 4:00
Location: High School Commons
Hello athletics parents!
My name is Tricia Gebe, and I’m the mom of Sam Neef (MS Soccer) and Will Neef (HS Soccer). After some discussion amongst ourselves at different times this year, there has been interest expressed in having more robust parent involvement in fundraising for the needs of our athletic teams. I reached out to Coach Oakley about this, who explored our options for this within the bounds of the efficient and effective preexisting fundraising framework that ERA operates under.
Based on this interest, we think it would be a good time to organize, send a representative to the fundraising committee meetings, and have a core group of parents who organize efforts to benefit athletics. Some things in this category would be apparel sales, concessions, and providing an avenue for more involvement by athletics in the preexisting fundraising efforts. I would love input from interested parents on how this core group should look (parent from each team, age groups, etc), and how the roles should be defined (President/VP, volunteer coordinator, social media, community outreach, fundraising committee rep).
Please feel free to share this with other parents, and reach out to me at pgebe30@gmail.com, or 919-302-1866.
Take care, and go Bobcats!
Tricia
