Endhaven Elementary PTA

Endhaven Families,

Next week is a very important week at Endhaven – Teacher Appreciation Week! This is the week where we get to celebrate all the hard work and excellence our teachers and staff share with our children. With your help, we can make this a meaningful and fun week! 

How Can I Help?

There are still ways you can help make this event a success, and one of them doesn’t require any cost and very little time. It is our school’s 20th anniversary, and we are hoping to compile 20 years of memories and words of kindness to share with teachers and staff. We would love to hear from you and/or your child. If you have a few moments to send a quick memory or kind word, it would be so appreciated. You can share your memories to ptaendhaven@gmail.com. Please share with anyone you know who had a child at Endhaven or is a former student! 

Schedule of Events

The majority of our events are being sponsored by the PTA and community partners. If you are a PTA member or have attended a PTA event this year, we sincerely thank you. It is through your support we are able to do things like this for our teachers and staff!

Schedule of Events

The PTA will be sponsoring many of the events this week with help from community sponsors and parents. In the table below you’ll find the details of the events along with links for sign ups and donation needs. 

Thank You to Community Partners

We have had several local businesses step up to truly make this week a success. Without these businesses, we would not be able to give our teachers the amazing week we have planned. We will share more about their generosity in next week’s update, but please know these businesses have each supported our school in a big way!

Thank you for your support and we look forward to a great Teacher Appreciation Week!

Hello Endhaven Families,

Wow! Thank you for showing your support for our school in a big way during our annual Boosterthon fundraiser. Through your donations, sharing, and support, we met our goal of $25,000 for an electronic/digital marquee, grounds/campus enhancements, a school-wide student incentive program and staff appreciation. We are so proud of the students for completing the Cougar Fun Run! 

We have a few updates to share with you as we head into November. You may view the full PTA calendar of events here: Endhaven/PTA Calendar list format 2022-2023 – Google Docs

Holiday Food Drive with Ballantyne Families Open Now through 11/4

We need your help to support the upcoming holiday food drives with Ballantyne Families Helping Neighbors in Need. This group works directly to support students AND staff in the 9-area schools that feed to Ardrey Kell High School. In the past, Endhaven has received more support than any other school and we’d love your help to give back. 

If you need food assistance, please contact Ms. Tucker (our school counselor) to connect with this group confidentially. 

Any denomination will help make a difference!
