Good morning EWA families.
An update on the situation from yesterday.
Last night ZPD confirmed the possible threat to EWA was NOT credible, with the possibility some key details were exaggerated as the story spread. We are grateful to the ZPD for their fast intervention in this matter. Out of an abundance of caution, we have asked ZPD to be on campus today and we will continue to go through our safety protocols. We ask our families to proceed as normal through carpool, as any disruption to the process will cause confusion and increase the chance of an accident.
Thank you for your continued support of EWA and we look forward to a joyous holiday break.
Last Friday 7th Graders worked on Science and math standards while building teamwork skills. We made 3D and 2D ornaments, read to elementary students, made holiday cards for the elderly at a local assisted living center, made paper circuit pictures that light up, and painted rocks for our community rock garden. The students did such a great job in all of these activities.
Fourth grade started off our holiday week with a candy cane experiment and several stem activities! They built with gum drops and created a jingle bell maze!
