East Wake Academy -

Thanks to the Carolina Mudcats for a great day! This was our first ever K-12 field trip and it was awesome to have all of the staff, students and families together.

Nurse Christy visited the Honors Anatomy and Physiology class to share her journey in the medical field and teach students and Mrs. Broadwell how to take blood pressure.

Happy National Pet Day from some EWA Staff & their pets!

A message from Mrs. Barnhill: The Scholastic Book Fair is coming up It will be open from Friday, April 21st through Friday, April 28th. The fair will be open to the middle school from 7:45-8:15. Elementary students will be able to shop during specials. The flyer below explains how to create an eWallet for your child. https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/content/fairs/ewallet.html Taxes will be charged this year(7.25%) I am encouraging parents to use eWallet. If students bring cash they need to have exact change or the coin change will be a donation to the media center to buy more books. We are also looking for volunteers to help with the book fair - you can sign up at https://bit.ly/3FUBOd3

The EWA High School First Priority Club hosted a free car wash for all EWA staff as a way to give back! The National Honor Society joined in to help wash 40 cars this Monday, a Teacher Workday! What a wonderful service project!

While students are on track out our Maintenance staff has been working hard! One project has been working in the weight room which meant everything had to be removed from the room! I took this picture today and smiled when I saw the bucket with "Clapp" on it. Tammy Clapp was one of the first K/1 teachers at EWA and I (Mrs. Lloyd) was her Assistant. Hard to believe that this bucket has been around this long! #EWA25

EWA was honored to host the Zebulon Chamber luncheon today. Congratulations to EWA Junior Cara Beth Erickson who won an Art Scholarship! I know a lot of our parents do not live in Zebulon, but please be sure to support local businesses when you are in town!

Good afternoon EWA. As previously mentioned, we had a small fire today in the HS. Fortunately no one was hurt and the damage was contained to the 2nd floor teacher's lounge. All students and staff are now permitted to re-enter the building. For tomorrow:  -  Any personal items left in the school will be secured. First thing tomorrow students may come in and sign for their personal items.  -  All classes will run as scheduled    Thank you for your cooperation and a special thank you to the Zebulon Fire Department for their assistance.  Anthony Pirrello, Executive Director

Good afternoon EWA. This afternoon a microwave in the HS caused a small fire in the teacher's lounge. All students and staff were evacuated safely and thankfully there are no reported injuries. All HS students who are able to leave school without reentering the building are dismissed. Any student who needs or wishes to reenter the building today must wait until it is cleared by the fire department. All HS students who are waiting must wait in the Middle Academy.  Parents who wish to pick up their HS students early may go to the Middle Academy for dismissal. Please be very careful as we have first responders on the scene clearing smoke from the HS building.  Once we have spoken with the fire department we will have more information regarding tomorrow's classes. Stay tuned.  Thank you for your cooperation.  Anthony Pirrello, Executive Director
