Weekly Summer Email
July 19th-23rd, 2021
We had a blast making Galaxy Slime with Mrs. Starr!
Science week was a lot of fun, with rocket ships and airplane crafts and cloud dough, and a trip to our science lab to make slime! We also had water play and spent lots of time outdoors in this week’s beautiful weather.
Next week will be Out of this World, with space-related activities. On Wednesday, first grade and up will take a field trip to Neabsco Boardwalk to enjoy a nature hike. Remember that Mondays are water play days for our elementary students (except Ms. J’s 3rd and 4th graders who do theirs on Friday). Preschoolers do their water play on Wednesdays.
Only a few weeks remain until the start of the school year! For students attending PWA, the first day is August 16th. For those attending other schools, we’ll have one more week of camp from August 16th – 20th.
If you aren’t a PWA family but are interested in registering your child at PWA for the fall, you’ll find information below. We offer small class sizes (no more than 15 students in elementary classes) and individualized academics. PWA is a great place to learn and grow and feel at home.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

On water play days, please be sure to send your students to school with a bathing suit, towel, and shoes that can get wet. Don’t forget to include a wet bag to send their items home in! Please label all items with your child’s name.
K, 1st, 2nd, and middle school have water play on Monday.
3rd and 4th have water play on Friday.
Preschoolers (ages 2-4) have water play on Wednesday.
Please be advised that in order to administer sunscreen, we must have written permission from a parent. You’ll find the form below.
Each week we include this information for newcomers: Below you’ll find some important information about our Summer Enrichment Program:
According to VA regulations, all children ages 5 and up must wear a mask at school and camp. Teachers and school staff must also wear a mask at all times indoors, regardless of vaccination status. We ask that you send your children to school and camp wearing a mask, and with an extra in their bag.
Drop-off time for preschool remains the same as always–8:30 am. However, preschoolers may now be dropped off at the front door! Pickup time is 3:00 pm, also at the front door.
Drop off for our elementary and middle campers is at 9 am at the side door. You’ll see an attendant there between 8:55 and 9:15 am. Pickup for our campers is 4:00 pm. After 4:15, we close the door and late campers go to aftercare. After-care campers may be picked up at the front door, or from the playground, if they are outside.
Each morning, our elementary and middle students will work on enrichment and advancement in language arts and math. In the afternoons, we’ll have water play, field trips (grades 1 and above), arts and crafts, cooking projects, and lots of fun on our playground and in our gym. Our preschoolers will also follow our themes and will have water days as well. Your child’s teacher will let you know which days those will be.
Our camp calendars will be included in the email each week. Please note that activities and field trips are subject to change, depending on weather and health conditions.
Each week, you’ll find our lunch menu below, as well as our lunch packet. Lunches should be purchased in advance and may be purchased in quantities from 10 lunches to the full month. For elementary and middle students, tuition is due each Monday for the week, and lunches may be paid at that time as well. Payment can be made through automatic withdrawal or by check or credit/debit card.
