Enota Multiple Intelligence Fair a Great Success  

  

What do kangaroos, a photo studio, karate, and police officers have in common? They were all at Enota M.I. Academy last Thursday. Enota celebrated its annual Multiple Intelligences Fair and everyone agrees it was a great success.

            

Students demonstrated their unique abilities and intelligences by displaying projects throughout the school. Families were able to explore a zoo in the gymnasium and get their hair decorated in outrageous hair styles called "fair hair."

            

Madison Brown, a student in Ms. Sanders' second grade class, loved the fair. "My favorite part was touching the huge snake," she says. "The cake walk was a lot of fun too! Even though I didn't win, I was able to get donuts for my dad and he loved them!"

            

Ms. April Sanders, the teacher in charge of organizing and directing the fair, says, "It was a great cooperative learning experience to plan the M.I. Fair with Enota's PTA and community members. We want to thank the Board members for volunteering to judge student projects and local businesses who participated in the event."

            

Truly, the M.I. Fair is an event to remember. We hope to see you next year!
