Mural Brings Joy and Sasquatch to Sunrise!
We’re thrilled to share the newest addition to our school campus: a vibrant mural created by local artist Henry, as part of his 1,000 Sasquatches Project! Located on the covered area wall facing the parking lot, the mural features one of Henry’s signature sasquatches, a beautiful sunrise (perfect for Sunrise Elementary), and several animals placed at kid-height so students can engage with the artwork up close.
This special project has brought so much excitement to our campus. We captured some joyful moments of students seeing the mural and a photo of Henry after completing it.
We're so grateful for this creative addition to our school community. Thank you, Henry!
Don't forget to come check the Lost & Found for any missing items. Everything left after 2:00pm on Friday, June 20th will be donated.
UPDATE: Students and staff are safe. Law enforcement has confirmed the device in the Enumclaw Middle School courtyard was a cell phone battery that caught fire after being thrown to the ground. The fire was immediately extinguished. We have confirmed there were no injuries. Students and staff are still safely evacuated, and law enforcement has cleared the school and surrounding exterior. We will provide you with any additional information once it has been received.
