We Appreciate our Teachers!!!

Teacher Appreciation Night was held on Wednesday, February 12. The Women’s Basketball team, through the direction of Coach Mickeal Rhaney (JV Girls Basketball), acknowledged our educators as a bright light at Enloe. They celebrated teachers at Enloe for two reasons:

1) Although teachers significantly impact all of our students, it is not always easy to see how much of an impact they have without student feedback.

2) The Teachers here at Enloe are not a part of the bricks that make up the school; they are the ones who make the bricks a home.

Special Thanks to the following teachers: Ms. Alexander, Ms. Mann, Ms. Lopardo, Ms. Graham, Ms Wright, Ms. Hassan, Ms. Richards, Ms. Rhaney, Ms. Mann, Mr. Fuss, Ms. Champion, Ms. Thompson, Mr. Graham, Mr. Bennett, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Puckett, Mr. Miller, Ms. Ju, Ms. Batchelor, Ms. Ogunsanya, Ms. Eno

 

***Cheer and Men’s Basketball***

On Friday, February 14 we celebrated our 3 Senior Cheerleaders: Ashleigh Jones, Leslie Cruz-Martin, and Kaitlyn Totten, and our 3 Senior Basketball players: Mel-Leek King, Simba Debnam-Pwiti, and Malone Bridgers.
