EWA Families! We are excited to launch our Community Business Partners program! Through this program, we will be able to provide a spirited custom shirt to EVERY student in our school, while also raising needed funds. The primary component of our shirt partnership program is our Event Shirt for our Boosterthon fundraiser. We are hoping to partner with local businesses to help sponsor these shirts. Their logo or name will be displayed on the back of the shirt, and worn by over 800 Kindergarten - 8th grade students in our school. If you know of, or are part of, a business that would be interested in becoming an EWA Community Business Partner, please send them the linked Business Sponsorship Form for more information. We need a commitment from all Community Business Partners by Wednesday, September 20th in order to supply all our students with a shirt. Thank you in advance for supporting our school! If you have any questions, please contact Belinda Lloyd at blloyd@eastwakeacademy.org

My School Bucks Update: EWA did a student upload in mid July. If your child was in PowerSchool at that time, they will show in MSB. If they were accepted after that time, then they will be added to MSB in a second upload by the end of August. In the meantime you can make payments to the school by cash or check. Sorry for the inconvenience.
