Ensign Fund
Welcome, Seabees!
The Ensign Fund is a 501C3 that encourages academic excellence for every child at Ensign through a wide range of additional programs that focus on student engagement and staff connection through National Junior Honor Society, AVID, arts, science, extra-curricular clubs, intramural sports, staff development, teacher grants, and student intervention, support and enrichment.
This webpage is operated and maintained by volunteers of the Ensign Fund. All information and postings associated with this page and any links are at the sole discretion of the Ensign Fund and not endorsed by the Newport-Mesa Unified School District.
Annual Campaign
In order to continue the success of the Ensign Fund, we need your help! Gifts of any amount are greatly appreciated.
Donors of $350 or higher will be invited to our Annual Donor Reception Party (usually in March).
To make your tax-deductible donation, you may:
1. Donate via PayPal and select Annual Campaign.
2. Download and print the Ensign Fund Pledge Form and mail in a check or drop it off in the front office.
Wish Night
Wish Night is an opportunity for you to help teachers by giving them funds to pay for an “above and beyond” experience in their classroom. We kick it off at Back to School Night with teachers displaying QR codes and a “wish list” of items that they would like to enhance their classroom experience by donating to their department.
If you missed the opportunity then you are able to still do so online through the end of October. Wish Night donations can be made through PayPal. Select “wish night” and be sure to add under the +plus sign donor recognition/wish night/notes to indicate teacher/department. There is another opportunity to donate to Wish Night at Mix + Mingle.
Mix + Mingle
It’s a great opportunity to meet more parents, teachers, staff, win great items and have fun...all while supporting Ensign! Mix and Mingle Donation Letter and Form
