2nd graders wrote their Christmas lists, and one student didn’t ask for toys or electronics —they simply wished “for everyone to be happy and kind.” Sometimes it takes a child to remind us what the world needs most.
My Hot Lunchbox Update:
When school is cancelled for weather or any other reason, we notify MHL. As long as they are notified by 8:00am, all orders are cancelled and our vendor is notified. Credits are placed on parent accounts for the cancelled orders. Credits never expire and will be automatically applied the next time you check out. Parents do not need to contact us to cancel or request a credit as this process is automatic.

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!
