Weekly Message from ENSATS 01/14/2022

Good Evening Caregivers and Students:

 

We have battled the bitter cold this week and we would like to thank our Facilities, Farm, and Grounds crew for braving the elements to ensure our campus is ready for students every day and for taking care of our animals.  

 

Martin Luther King Day – January 17, 2022

MLK
As we begin this holiday weekend, we ask that you remember the “why.” Martin Luther King Jr., despite being African-American at a difficult time in our country, chose love over hate. We ask that we continue to seek empathy and love to truly honor what Dr. King stood for and his message to us all. As a community, we have work to do related to equity. Whether it’s race, color, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or educational differences, we must work together to create a safe learning environment for our community. This is an all-hands-on-deck situation, and we cannot do this work alone.  Remember our Graduate Profile: kind, tenacious, responsible, collaborative, culturally proficient, and entrepreneurial.

 

Our grade 9 students completed their first full week in their CTE areas.  It is exciting to see our youngest Hawks begin their CTE journey.

Drama Club Performances

After months of hard work, the Drama Club is ready to perform this weekend in the newly renovated Smith Hall Auditorium.  Drama Club is proud to present their production, The Plot, Like Gravy, Thickens on Friday, January 14 at 6:00 pm and Saturday, January 15 at 1:00 pm and 6:00 pm. This whodunit murder mystery is full of laughs, zany characters, and even the chance for the audience to interrogate the suspects! Watch as the tyrannical millionaire, Edward Worthington is murdered, and the police lieutenant searches for the culprit.
