Elizabeth Gerken, President of the Ensworth Parent Association

A message from Elizabeth Gerken, President of the Ensworth Parent Association for 2020-2021:

I am honored and excited to serve as your 2020-2021 Parent Association President! While I never imagined the kind of unusual year this would be, I am inspired by the many ways Ensworth parents remain optimistic and continue to work hard on behalf of our school. Our PA Committee Chairs, PA Board Members, and many others have been busy this summer planning activities that uphold the PA mission to Build Our Community, Educate Our Parents, and Support Our School. Building a feeling of community will be more important now than ever as we seek creative ways to stay engaged, develop friendships, and ensure that new families feel the warmth of Ensworth.

There are countless FUN ways to be a part of the Ensworth community, even during COVID-19, and the PA would love your help! If you meet a parent who is new to Ensworth, follow up and make sure that parent feels welcome. Do you have an idea for a fun event for the parents in your grade? Talk to your Room Parent/Parent Coordinator. Want to start a walking group with other moms or dads? Let us know. Small group gatherings will be critical to cultivating a sense of community this year. Remember this: “You aren’t going to meet anyone sitting in your car in the hook-up line!” Make an effort to be a part of this wonderfully diverse place that enriches the lives of our children every day.

If you haven’t signed up yet to volunteer with a Parent Association committee, please email Ashley Owen, Volunteer Coordinator, at ashleyowenmc@yahoo.com.

I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and ensuring a wonderful year together!

Elizabeth Gerken

2020-2021 President, Ensworth Parent Association
