Parent Organization Updates

 

PTSA: We are #BetterTogether!

• TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK: Teacher Appreciation Week is May 5 - 9! We have an exciting week planned for our amazing teachers, but we need your help to make it all happen! We are asking our Eagle family and community to donate $10 - $20, or whatever you are comfortable with, to increase our budget. Our goal is for us to have two meals that week, a dessert and treats bar, healthy snacks and wellness class, along with a cold coffee station. Every day there will be a different theme along with notes of appreciation. We welcome the opportunity to serve our teachers and thank you all in advance for your help in making this week a special one for our Enloe Superstars! Donate here!

• THE DR. CHAVIS EQUITY IN EDUCATION GRANT: The Dr. Will Chavis Equity in Education Grant is provided by the Enloe PTSA. Dr. Chavis, is a former Enloe principal and equity advocate whose vision was to ensure that the educational excellence at Enloe served and benefited all students. This grant is open to student clubs and staff members that have a mission to advance equity awareness, address race and racial issues, increase student voice, and connect students, staff, and the larger community.  The proposed grant must adequately explain how it will conceptually and systemically address equity within the Enloe community. Priority will be given to collaborative efforts. Apply here: tinyurl.com/EnloeChavisGrant

Athletic Boosters:

 

Our student-athletes pour their hearts and souls into representing Enloe with pride, dedication, and sportsmanship. They deserve the best possible playing fields to hone their skills and compete at their highest level.

Unfortunately, our fields are showing their age. Years of use and weather have taken their toll, resulting in uneven surfaces, wear and tear, and safety concerns. It's time to level the playing field—literally!

We're launching "Leveling the Playing Field," an emergency fundraising campaign to raise money for essential field repair and maintenance. Specifically, we need to address:

• Reseeding and Top Dressing: To restore healthy, resilient turf.

• Leveling and Filling Worn Spots: Eliminating dangerous dips and uneven areas.

• Removing Rocks and Debris: Ensuring a safe and clean playing surface.

Our Goal: $60,000 in the next 2 months!

This is a BIG ask, but it's achievable with your help. With approximately 600 student-athletes at Enloe, our target is to raise $100 per athlete. This collective effort will make a significant impact on the quality of our sports facilities.

 

How You Can Help:

• Donate Today: Every contribution, large or small, brings us closer to our goal. Click HERE to make your secure online donation.

• Spread the Word: Share this campaign with friends, family, and fellow Enloe supporters. Use the hashtag #LevelingThePlayingField on social media.

• Corporate Matching: Check if your employer offers matching gift programs to double your impact!

Every dollar counts! Please consider making a donation today and help us reach our goal of $60,000.
