Week 25
Adorable centenarians celebrating our 100th day of school!
Week 25 was a busy one–we had snow days, teacher vaccinations, and our 100th day of school. The students managed to make the most of it, and we got lots of great pictures from the week, as you’ll see below. We’re really grateful to be 100 days into this unprecedented school year with your wonderful children.
We’d like to thank George Mason University for their partnership with the health department in working to fill the gaps in teacher vaccinations. They managed to get our staff scheduled and vaccinated within a short time frame, despite major logistical challenges. Those of us who were vaccinated came through with very few side effects aside from sore arms.
February is Black History Month, and we celebrate at school each year with projects, art, music, and history. Be on the lookout for special projects coming home with your students!

It’s Black History Month, and we spend each February at PWA learning about historical figures, artists, musicians, and civil rights pioneers. This year, with the help of our art teacher Stephanie Cox, students will also put together a celebratory art gallery in our elementary hallway.
