EWA Families,
Apparently not all K-11 parents received an email from Strawbridge about their child's proof from Spring Dress Down pictures, so they sent us paper ones. If your child was photographed on 3/28 then they should be bringing home a proof sheet either today or the first of next week with directions on how to order online.
Somehow an old school "JC Penney" style picture got mixed in with ours! If you know who these silly staff are, please let us know 🙃😁😆😀
EWA Spring Dance Concert is Thursday April 17th at 7PM. Doors open at 6:30pm, and tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for students, and free for staff and children under 4 years of age. There will also be a 50/50 raffle. Please come out and support your EWA Dance Department.
These K-4 students were recognized as their class’s characters trait winner for self-control. They are great examples of how to stop, think, and then act to help stay in control and make good choices!
Emergency lunches are needed for K4, MA and HS! These can be dropped off and any office. Ex: Chef Boyardee buckets, Ramen noodles, Mac & cheese buckets, etc
Thank you!
Lightening has been spotted a second time. For the safety of all our students and staff our new dismissal time is 3:22.
Lightening has been reported during carpool. For everyone's safety we are holding students in the buildings until 3:15.
If your child was photographed last Friday, you will be receiving an email from Strawbridge with information on how to view your proof and order online. If you do not receive an email in a few days go to www.strawbridge.net and use their live chat feature.
*if your child was absent on 3/28 there will not be a makeup date
Thanks to the creativity of Josie Snead and the teachers on our Student Culture Committee, the morning announcements in Middle Academy have been transformed into a radio-style broadcast! 🎧📻
This week, students and staff have been thoroughly entertained and informed, and we can’t wait to see how this new tradition evolves. Huge thanks to everyone involved for bringing energy and creativity to our mornings!
We are excited to announce our upcoming Scholastic Book Fair! This special event gives students the opportunity to build their home libraries and deepen their love of reading. Plus, every purchase made benefits our school!
Please read the flyer carefully! There is a lot of important information including information on setting up your child's e-wallet, volunteer opportunities and the date and time for Family Night. If you have questions or need more information, please email Elizabeth Barnhill ebarnhill@eastwakeacademy.org

7th grade toured the Holocaust museum in Richmond, VA on Monday. There were a lot of great questions and learning that took place!
The High School Cancer Awareness Club is hosting a volleyball tournament Wednesday!
8th grade science is studying water quality. Students observed the pH level of various types of water sources such as bleached water, vinegar water, and other types to determine if it's an acid or a base. Mrs. Dixon and her students also took advantage of the nice weather today and went to the creek next to the school to test pH levels.
We would like to thank one of our families who donated a significant amount of resources to improving our mobile classrooms. Both units received new skirting and blinds. When I asked the family if we could thank them publicly, they declined, however they said they love EWA and wanted to make a positive difference.
If you would like to support EWA, our new Eagle Foundation is ready to work with you. Please contact Alison Johnson ajohnson@eastwakeacademy.org to see how you can support our students, teachers, and families.

Congratulations to all of our participants and winners!
Quarter 4 is here!
These third grade mathematicians are practicing fact fluency! ➕➖✖️➗
How can I help my elementary student increase fact fluency at home? You can use dice, a deck of playing cards, pencil and paper or flash cards. These are just a few ways to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division!
