April Character Trait of the Month: Integrity
This month, we’re focusing on integrity—doing the right thing, being honest, and staying true to your values even when no one is watching. If you know a peer who demonstrates integrity, scan a purple QR code around campus to nominate them. Remember, you cannot nominate yourself—this is a chance to recognize others.

Reminder, if you are bringing a guest that is NOT a student at EWA you will need a guest from which can be obtained from the front office or on the My school bucks app. If you have any questions regarding prom, please see Mrs. E.

CLUBS:
The Green Club brings you this fact:
Did you know that fertilizer can be harmful to the environment?
Since fertilizer has fecal matter and other chemicals, if it got into a body of water, it could negatively affect the organisms that live there.
The Cancer Awareness Club's 3rd Annual VolleyBros tournament will be April 23rd. See Mrs. Lane or the link in the Cancer Awareness Instagram page.
