Congratulations & Good Things:
Happy Assistant Principal’s Week to our two wonderful Deans - Mrs. Hover and Mrs. Coburn!! We appreciate all you do for the students and staff at ERA!!
The Weislak Learning Garden was unveiled today! Our amazing Kindergarteners had the idea for the outdoor learning space and the Kisala family stepped up to make it happen. We were able to name it after Mrs. Weislak for her 29 years of service to Eno River Academy! It is an amazing space for our students to learn!!
