Congrats to our Students of the Week!! We are thrilled to highlight them for their hard work, dedication and outstanding achievements!!
4th- Candance Leone
5th- Yareli Lopez

We are so proud of these students for their Perfect Attendance during the second Six Weeks! We also want to give a big THANK YOU to their families for getting them to school every day! It makes a huge impact on their learning and growth!!
With the cool season quickly approaching, Enge Washington Intermediate hallways will be warmer with our 6th graders bravely displaying their first painting labeled Fire Painting.
These eco-friendly students recycled cardboard to use as canvases, which created unique
shapes and sizes of each project. Our student’s hands-on process of sketching their
design, choosing favorite colors and complimentary colors with use of the color wheel, and
applying acrylic paint and glitter made each painting come to visionary life.
