Wonder got into the music industry at about 4 years old when he joined the church choir, and learned to play instruments such as piano, harmonica, and drums as he got older. He had his first number one billboard hit at just age 13. He is best known for his contributions to R&B, Pop, and Soul. He has earned over 25 Grammy awards.

Any students seen at carpool without permission or prior to release time will face disciplinary action. Thank you for following the rules that have been in place for your safety.
Middle Academy Sports
When athletes have away games please initial the roster located outside of the Middle School entrance. Do NOT enter the Middle School office unless checking out another student that is not playing sports.
When there is a home game, students need to be picked up during carpool and brought back to school for the game. Students may not linger after school.
If your student needs to stay after school before a game starts, they must go to WINGS. Students should be registered for WINGS online. An email must be sent to a WINGS teacher giving students permission to attend the sports event/game. An email must be sent each time or for each game/event.
Once students leave WINGS they need to be picked up at the game and are no longer the responsibility of WINGS. Please contact Payton Shearin at pshearin@eastwakeacademy.org for additional information.
Students are NOT to leave for sports while in transition to the next class. They may exit at the time of dismissal for that game day.
Middle School spring sport tryouts have also been adjusted and will now take place on 2/18 and 2/19.
To ensure eligibility, all tryout packets must be completed and submitted no later than 2/13. If you are unable to get an appointment with your primary care physician, OrthoNC in Knightdale and Fast Med in Zebulon do walk in sports physicals. Tryout packets can be located here.
