Good morning, Senior Academy!
Wednesday, August 18
From EWA Boosters
Next Thursday, August 27th, is our first Dress Down Day of the school year. Over the last 4 years, we've awarded 12 amazing seniors with a $1500 scholarship. We hope to continue this tradition this year. All money raised during next week's Dress Down Day will go directly toward our EWA Booster Scholarships for the Class of 2027 Senior Athletes.
Our process is easy.....just bring $4 Thursday morning and dress down. Teachers are unable to make change so anything over $4 will be considered a donation. We accept Cash or Checks made payable to EWA Boosters. If you need to combine payment for siblings, just include a note to each child's homeroom teacher. Thank you for supporting EWA Athletics.
