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.
Delay extended until at least 3:30pm.
Thanks for your cooperation and patience
