March 2022- Enon Elementary School
Principal's Message
Spring is just around the corner! With our Quarter 3 almost over, we want to make the most of our remaining weeks of school. Thank you for continuing to support your child with attendance, completing homework, reading and practicing their math facts. We are so fortunate to have you as committed partners to our student success and appreciate all you do.
Kindergarten registration for the 2022-23 school year will be by appointment only April 18-21, 2022. Families will start the registration process by going to bit.ly/CCPS-K-registration2022 and complete the online pre-registration. To finalize your students registration, please go to bit.ly/enonkregistration2022 to schedule your appointment. Please check out the flyer below for more information. We can't wait to meet all our new Kindergarten Gators!
Read Across America week is February 28th-March 4th! Enon Elementary is going on a road trip all the way across the USA. Our goal as a school is to read a book that takes place in or features a person from each of the 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico by the end of the week. We will track our progress during the week on our map outside the library. We are excited to explore the varied and diverse regions, history, and stories of our beautiful country while celebrating literacy and the joy of reading!
March is also Music in Schools Month! We have some exciting activities planned- please see below for more information. Our Spring Book Fair is also later this month from 3/28-4/1.
Enon Loves the Earth Day is coming up on Friday, April 22nd. We are planning a fun day to learn about science and nature. One of our goals is to also help our students learn more about STEAM careers that day. If you are in a STEAM career (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) please consider recording a short 5 minute "career information" video to have available to share with our students that day. Contact our counselor Pamela_Neville@ccpsnet.net for more information.
For our class pictures this year our vendor Candid Color has created a format for "Covid Friendly" Class Pictures! The picture that was taken of your student in the fall (or on a makeup date) will be the one that is used. The student's pictures will be in small ovals around a picture of the teacher with their teacher's name and 2021/2022 for the school year. Candid Color will be back at Enon on 3/8/22 to take pictures of only new students and any student who was absent on both earlier picture days. They will not be doing retakes. More information to follow on pricing and ordering.
Finally, this is a last call for yearbook orders. All yearbooks should be ordered by March 11th. PRIDE Ads for our 5th graders are also due by this date. (See below for ordering information)

Enon Library News
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming back! Mark your calendars for March 28-April 1 for our spring book fair! Look for a sign-up genius for volunteering to help during the day during our fair to make it a success! Our fall book fair was an all-time record setter for sales and was loads of fun. The book fair not only grows readers by building your children's libraries at home, but it benefits our entire school by allowing us to add fun seating options for our "fire pit" area, open-ended makerspace items, and hundreds of new fiction and nonfiction books to our library collection for all to enjoy for years to come.
Do not forget to sign up for E-Wallet. We had fantastic participation with E-Wallet during our last fair, and it makes shopping easy and hassle free for your students. Details on how to sign up are in the book fair link below.
