East Wake Academy -

As a K-12 School, one of EWA's favorite traditions is the Kindergarten/Senior Walk. I hope you enjoy this video of the class of 2024 and the class of 2036! https://youtu.be/jNQ1KcjQbHs

“Spanish 2 students from Mrs. Jones’s classroom taught elementary students a mini lesson in Spanish. Topics included were colors, numbers, and a fun song called “Los Pollitos Dicen.”

EWA staff are INSPIRING our students everyday!

East Wake Academy has been recognized as a Heart Safe School by Project Adam. In order to receive this distinction our campus has established and practiced a plan to respond to sudden cardiac arrest. EWA has an emergency crisis response team composed of staff that are CPR trained and have conducted simulation drills. Congratulations to Nurse Christy, Mr. Campbell and the team at EWA. **Not all team members were present for the photo.

More of our DEDICATED teachers!

‘C’ is for Chopsticks! In 2nd grade ELA, we’ve been reading and learning interesting facts about Ancient China through “The Magic Treehouse” series and a Chinese alphabet book. Today, students were challenged to engage in a common practice of the Chinese culture… chopsticks! -Mrs. Boone 2nd Grade

Some more of our AWESOME teachers!!

Today is School Nurse Day! We are fortunate to have a full time Nurse on staff and we truly appreciate her.

EWA Teacher ROCK!!

We may be biased, but we think that EWA has the BEST staff! This week is Teacher Appreciation Week so we will be recognizing them all week!

Ms. Haynes' and Mrs. Broadwell's Intro to STEM classes took a field trip to Edwards, Inc. to get a behind the scenes experience for crane operation, as well as fabrication and welding of major pipe systems and metal beams that are used in the construction of buildings and bridges. We were very impressed with the machinery and technology at Edwards, but mostly we were impressed with the hard working men and women that play a key role in the foundation of the engineering and structure of the places we work, shop and live out our lives. Thank you, Edwards, Inc for hosting us!!

Another EWA tradition is the Senior Breakfast sponsored by their parents. Thank you to everyone that helped make this a success!

Congratulations to the 46 Seniors that were inducted into the East Wake Academy Eagle Society today! These students have completed 13 years of education at EWA.

First Grade had their WORM-O-RAMA Thursday! Students “adopted” a real earthworm. Students named their worms, observed them while looking for each body part, and measured in cm to see how long they were! Then we set them free in our school-wide gardens. At the end of the day, students made an earthworm book and made their own dirt-in-a-cup with pudding, OREOS, and gummy worms (thanks to parent donations)! What a fun day! 🪱🪱🪱

EWA and PTA would like to thank It's a Zoo Life for coming out today and sharing your friends with us! There was a baby kangaroo, an albino kangaroo, goats, pig, giant turtle and chickens! The students that earned this award were very excited!

Happy Principals Day to EWA's Leadership Team Throughout the year, these educators assume the commitment to lead our young people to a prosperous future. They support and guide our quality teachers and staff resulting in a productive learning environments for our student. Great Leaders don't set out to be a leader...they set out to make a difference. It's never about the role - always about the goal!

Mrs. Schwengels and Mrs. Vasquez’s class earth day activities

Yesterday in K-4, these students were recognized for being their class’s monthly character trait winner for good judgment. Way to go!

Fourth graders celebrated Earth Day by replanting our Bee Garden, researching and drawing honeybees, and enjoying honey inspired snacks. They also participated in a bee keeper presentation and honey tasting presented by Shannon Baxter of Baxter’s Bees! 🐝

A student in Mrs. Norris' class wrote his own letter to Lowes home improvement stating he wanted to build a theme park in his back yard and that he needed wood, nails and paint. Mrs. Norris wrote a letter with it and mailed it to the CEO the beginning of April. Today they delivered a box full of Lowe's gear, supplies, tool carrier, hand written note from assistant chief officer and a gift card for $100. We love seeing companies who love and support student creativity!!
