Patriot Day, observed on September 11th each year in the United States, commemorates the tragic events of September 11, 2001, when terrorist attacks resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. While there are many quotes associated with this solemn day, one of the most famous is from President George W. Bush, who delivered a powerful speech on the evening of September 11, 2001:
"Today, our great nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature, and we responded with the best of America."

The Enumclaw School District believes that the arts play a vital role in our students’ education. From painting and music to theater and dance, the arts inspire creativity, boost academic achievement, and foster emotional growth.
We are excited to celebrate the incredible talent and dedication of our students and staff who make the arts come alive in our classrooms every day.

For families struggling to keep enough food in the house during weekends and school breaks, there is help available. Each Friday, over 300 students in the Enumclaw School District receive food bags containing fresh organic fruit, 4 entrée servings, 2 breakfasts, and 2 snacks. Food bags are discreetly distributed at school in such a way that the students remain anonymous to classmates.
If your family could benefit from this program, contact your student’s school counselor or complete the online enrollment form.
This program is brought to families of the Enumclaw School District by the Rainier Foothills Wellness Foundation.

September is Attendance Awareness Month
School attendance is a major factor in student academic success. At all grades, students who miss no more than nine days per school year are the most engaged and and on track for graduation. In fact, by 6th grade chronic absenteeism becomes a leading indicator that a student will drop out of high school.
Everyone plays a part in student attendance - families and school staff are in this together. To learn more about promoting good school attendance and how you can help, visit www.attendanceworks.org
