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!
The spirit of a place is evident. If enough people believe in something, it becomes a truth. If enough people believe that truth, it becomes a culture. A culture passed from one generation to the next is a tradition. Everyone came together in support of the vision and In Search of Truth.
Ensworth is committed to providing our students with access to the latest technology and an expert faculty. The new Creative Technology Center at the High School, featuring an engineering-oriented instructional space, a full-service broadcast suite and control center, a dedicated home for the Robotics team and arena, a podcast studio, and a well-equipped digital media and computer science classroom, opened in the fall of this year.
