The Ensworth-Parent Connection

Elizabeth Gerken and Barbara Smith, Co-Presidents
One of the most special things about being an Ensworth parent is being part of a wonderfully diverse and involved community. 
This fall, we set out to find new and different ways to bring our community together. So, in addition to our 13 parent gatherings, four book club get-togethers, and Parent Education events, the Parent Association:
  • Hosted the Tiger Trek family gathering at Red Gables
  • Joined forces with our fabulous football parents to hold festive tailgates before High School home games in our new Tiger Town Tailgate Zone
  • Held multiple breakfasts, happy hours, and an exclusive zoo experience, for our newest families
But here’s the best part: Your response was overwhelming! You came out in HUGE numbers with record attendance at our parent gatherings and more than 1,200 in attendance at Tiger Trek! You showed up and showed us that our parent community is yearning to feel that sense of togetherness that makes our school so vibrant.
 
So, guess what? We have an equally fantastic Spring semester planned with more opportunities to gather, including:
  • Four casual and fun multi-grade level gatherings
  • A Parent Education event with nationally-renowned author and speaker, Jessica Lahey, to discuss her new book The Addiction Inoculation
  • Tiger Night  (the BIGGEST and best party of the year!) was held on February 12 at Marathon Music Works.  K–12 parents had dinner, danced to live music, bid on amazing auction items, and waited with anticipation for the winner of the Roaring Raffle half-tuition drawing!  Stay tuned for pictures of the event in the next issue of Ensights.
  • Small-group book clubs - Fiction with Friends for wine and lively discussion, and Parenting with Purpose for lunch and the latest tips from parenting experts
  • More New Parent Welcome events, including coffees and happy hours, and a unique golf happy hour experience
  • Super Saturday! The year ends with a bang on May 7 with our beloved community carnival, including the Tiger Trot, inflatables, grilled burgers, carnival games, prizes, and more!
Thanks to you, your feedback, and your incredible engagement, we are more committed than ever to providing fun and creative ways to come together and celebrate our extraordinary Ensworth community. So, let’s keep up the momentum, and we’ll see you this Spring!
 
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Gerken and Barbara Smith, Co-Presidents
