Purchase a Thumbs Up Thursday Shout Out

Want to give your child a special birthday shout out?  Have they reached a special goal or achieved an accomplishment that you want to celebrate?  Purchase a Thumbs Up Thursday Shout Out for $1 and we will give a Thumbs Up shout out to your child on our morning news show for the entire school to hear!  This year, shout outs will be announced on Thursdays.  If your child misses the announcement, or you want to view it, you can find news episodes on our ENN website to watch online.  Complete the Thumbs Up Thursday Shout Out Google Form to purchase a shout out and send the $1 payment to the office in an envelope labeled ENN Shout Out.  Both the form and the payment must be received 48 hours prior to the shout out date selected to air since we are recording our news shows in advance this year due to scheduling.
