Students in Ms. Firmin's 1st Grade class worked in teams to create the largest Easter Basket with only the paper, glue, and tape given to them. They came out amazing!! Then all of 1st Grade celebrated with an egg hunt.
On Friday 4th graders took part in “Save the Bees Day!” This annual event focuses on the importance of pollinators and efforts to protect them! Throughout the week, students planted a bee garden to support the bee population. Our guest speaker, Shannon Baxter discussed hive structure, bee products, and protective measures for all pollinators. We concluded with a honey tasting from Baxter’s Bees.

Re: Statement of Support for EWA
Date: April 17, 2025
The EWA Board of Directors appreciates and values feedback from our school community. We have received a high volume of communication recently and we have read and that
feedback. While we recognize that not everyone may agree with change at EWA, we value all perspectives and remain confident in the direction EWA is heading. In today’s dynamic educational landscape, schools must continually grow and innovate to ensure students are prepared for success—staying the same means missing opportunities to excel. We are encouraged by the positive developments that occurred this year including returning to a “B” school status, establishment of the fundraising Foundation and our evolving partnership with Wake Tech. The board supports all of the decisions made by administration and is enthusiastic about the exciting opportunities ahead. EWA’s school community will see improvement in regards to clear and prompt communication about pertinent change, improvements, and transitions. We are always evaluating where we stand today and where we are going as a school community. EWA encourages your participation in a school wide
survey in the coming weeks as we shape the future direction of our school.
First graders in Ms. Pridgen's class made a new friend Tuesday! They all received a Peep that they named and kept safe throughout their activities. At the end of the day students wrote short narratives about their day with their Peep!

EWA Families,
Apparently not all K-11 parents received an email from Strawbridge about their child's proof from Spring Dress Down pictures, so they sent us paper ones. If your child was photographed on 3/28 then they should be bringing home a proof sheet either today or the first of next week with directions on how to order online.
Somehow an old school "JC Penney" style picture got mixed in with ours! If you know who these silly staff are, please let us know 🙃😁😆😀

These K-4 students were recognized as their class’s characters trait winner for self-control. They are great examples of how to stop, think, and then act to help stay in control and make good choices!
