The Child Nutrition Team will be putting a spotlight on school breakfast by encouraging all students to participate in the EWSD Breakfast Participation Challenge for the entire month of March. The rules of the challenge are simple - start each day by accessing FREE school breakfast! The school that increases their breakfast participation the most, by the end of the month, will win an all school recognition prize. Only one breakfast per student will be counted, so make sure to encourage your students who don’t typically eat breakfast to access it! 🍌🍊🥯🥞

We hope you had a restful winter break! See you tomorrow, EWSD! 😊😊

Students have loved modeling the way the Earth rotates on its axis, causing the sun to shine on different parts of the Earth. ☀️🌙⭐





Earlier this month, Hiawatha students and faculty came together to learn about and celebrate Black History Month. After, students were able to share with their peers what they learned from the presentation.
