Ms. Pridgen’s first grade class celebrated Cinco de Mayo today by learning about Mexico’s victory over the French! Students got to try chips and salsa and then completed a writing response about their thoughts on the new food! They finished up their lesson by learning the La Bomba song and dance. 💃





All week we'll be celebrating our teachers and staff for all the work they do to help our students. Whether they are teaching in the classroom, providing behind-the-scenes support, or giving a "hello" to a student in the hallway, they are a big part of what makes EWA the excellent school it is.

Thanks for your cooperation and patience
