2026 SILENT AUCTION LINK: https://givebutter.com/c/bonanza-silent-auction-copy-lnrdqb/auction
Sorry about that, we accidentally sent last year's silent auction link in our previous communication!
We are honored to share that Eno River Academy has been recognized as one of North Carolina’s original charter schools—helping pioneer school choice since the law first passed in 1996.
For nearly 30 years, ERA has been built on a commitment to academic excellence, creativity, and strong relationships with students and families. This recognition reflects the work of so many educators, leaders, and families who have shaped our school over the years.
But more importantly—it reflects who we are today.
🎥 Take a look inside ERA and see what makes our school special:
