Good evening EWA students, families and staff.
After reviewing current weather information, EWA will operate on a two hour delay tomorrow, December 5, 2025. All staff please report no later than 9:30 am. Students may begin to report at 9:45 am. Wings is canceled for tomorrow morning only. All afterschool activities will take place as scheduled. Have a wonderful evening.

We cannot thank you enough for your support! Our 2025 EWA Giving Tree was a huge success, and it wouldn't have been possible without you. We truly appreciate your kindness, willingness to give, and continued support of our school community!

Throughout the month of November, High School staff and students had the opportunity to nominate a student/peer who was observed displaying responsibility while at school. We had many students nominated, and of those nominated, one student from each grade was chosen to receive a sweet treat. Congratulations to Cooper Leonard, Savannah Zigler, Ava Murray, and Skyler Miller! Special thank you to the EWA Eagle Foundation who sponsored the treats for our students!

Hello EWA Parents,
Tomorrow we will be holding a special Dress Down Day on Giving Tuesday, December 2. This DDD is for all K-12 students with a $4 donation. All funds from this DDD will go to support the EWA Teacher and Staff Appreciation fund.
We realize that this is a different day to have a Dress Down Day, but Giving Tuesday is a national initiative that is always held the Tuesday after Thanksgiving.
Also, because this is the season of gratitude, we are asking for you to share any special stories of appreciation for our teachers and staff that positively impacted your student/family. If you would like to share a story, please send an email to Alison Johnson at ajohnson@ewaeaglefoundation.org.
Thank you for supporting our EWA Teachers and Staff!

Computer Science students created Macy's Day Balloon models. 7th and 8th grade students wrote code to create parade music to match their designs!

Students in Foods 1 participated in a food truck rodeo where they studied entrepreneurship, created a food truck design, developed and cooked a recipe.




SIX SEVEN?! We’ve heard it all year but this time the teacher participated by slipping some extra special “67” activities on the 67th Day of School (Monday!).





High School Spanish 1 students participated in a running dictation where students broke into groups of four, and competed in a relay race. One student runs to read information in Spanish then runs back to report it. The scribe must record the information and the artist draws a picture to show comprehension. The cheerleader motivates their group! Then students had to rotate roles for a fun twist!



Our Giving Tree for EWA families is displayed in the K-4 Lobby! There are a few ornaments remaining on the tree, and we would love your support! You are also able to donate through MySchoolBucks so we can purchase items that do not get donated.
After taking an ornament off the tree, please make sure to sign out your ornament with Mrs. Boone. All gifts can be returned (unwrapped) by December 2nd, 2025, and there are Giving Tree boxes located in the lobby of each building for donations.
Thank you again for helping to make sure all of our students have a bright holiday!

Mrs. Tanner’s Math 4 classes, students put their probability skills to the test with a fun twist on the classic game show “Deal or No Deal". Students calculated the probabilities of winning different amounts of “money” after each round while exploring Probability Distributions and Expected Value. This hands-on activity helped them see how math connects to real-world decision-making and added a little classroom excitement along the way!
