Hello Bobcats,
We’re settling into the rhythm of a new school year, and I’m excited about the momentum we’re building across Eno River Academy. Each day brings new opportunities for our students to challenge themselves, build relationships, and grow both inside and outside the classroom. Please remember that any numbered parking spot is a student parking spot. Parents should park only in non-numbered spots.
As we head into another great week, please remember that Monday is a holiday and there will be no school. I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and comes back refreshed and ready for a strong week ahead.
Have a great week, Bobcats!
Michael
Bobcats ROARING with pride
In ASL class, students learned how our ear sends sound to the brain. Afterward, the students researched parts of the ear, and then recreated the ear structure out of Play Doh! Each group showed creativity with the colors they picked to illustrate the different parts.
