To kick off the start of the last quarter of the school year, the Looney Boones revisited what it means to be a great friend and how our words and actions can impact others. Using the story “Making Friends is an Art”, we engaged in the wrinkled heart activity, pledged to continue being kind individuals, and made friendship bracelets. -Mrs. Boone, 2nd Grade

Good afternoon EWA families. As we were looking forward to the solar eclipse on Monday April 8th we realized the timing of the eclipse could have a negative impact on our students and staff (https://eclipse2024.org/eclipse-cities/city/30259.html). Looking directly at the sun during an eclipse can cause significant eye damage. Unfortunately, the timing of the eclipse is right in the middle of our carpool dismissal. As a result we are going to dismiss early on our normal early dismissal schedule. Unlike our typical early dismissal days, WINGS will be available to families. Thank you for your understanding. Anthony Pirrello

FBLA attended the state competition in Greensboro March 21-23!
