Pancake Race
THE PANCAKE RACE is being rescheduled. The original date was Tuesday, March 5, 2019 but it looks like it might be too . COLD outside so Ms. Kepler has decided to reschedule it. 5th graders at Ewalt and St. James are the only grade that can do it. We do this because 5th graders are leaving the elementary school and moving to middle school and we do more fun things together as a school but mostly 5th grade. If your student is running make sure that they bring their own frying pan because we don’t have any extras. Our P.E teacher here at the school is providing the pancakes. If your student wants to wear a costume they can wear a tutu, bandanas, aprons or chef hats. When it is rescheduled it will at 2:00 pm and go on for about 15 minutes. There will be two races, a girls race and a boys race. The Award will be given in the GYM. if you have any questions then contact the P.E teacher at jkepler@usd402.com or reach her at Ewalt at (316)-775-0065. Please watch for more information about the new date.

Mornings with Mom
By Tyler Mullins
Mornings with Mom is on Wednesday, March 6th from 7-8am in the Ewalt gym. It is like Donuts with Dads but with your mom. If you don’t know you and your child/mom come in and have donuts. If a mom isn’t able to come, you can bring any adult female you know who is available. If nobody can come, all students are still invited to come to the gym for a donut because the school will have volunteers there to eat with them. When your done eating you can stay and visit with your child. At 7:40, your child will go back to class. PTO sponsors this event and we want you to.have a nice morning with you child that day.

3rd and 4th Grade Music Concert
By Hayden Murphy
There was a concert on February 26, 2019. It was lots of fun, especially because I was in it! In case you don’t know what a concert is, it’s where 3rd and 4th grade get up on stage and sing songs they have carefully rehearsed. For more info, contact us by this. If you missed the concert you can watch it by clicking on this link: https://www.facebook.com/121532507944103/videos/242851699986714/
Reading, Running, and Recess
by Gabrielle Rettig
Reading, Running and Recess is a fundraiser put on by Ewalt PTO. Your child’s class will be assigned a time to read, run, and have recess. When your child reads she or he well… um… will… READ. When your child runs she or he well… um… will… RUN or walk miles. When your child has recess she or he well… um… will… have RECESS . Your child will read, run, and have recess the whole day! Sounds fun to me because I like to read and have recess, but not so much run or walk, but it gives you exercise. It will be on March 29th, 2019! Raise money to help your child's class win a party. If a class raises $200 they will win a extra recess. If they raise $400 they will be invited to a video dance party. The top K-2 and 3-5 will win a pizza party. The top earning student will be principal for the day! If the whole school raises $7,000 they get to vote what to do to the principal: 30 students will get to shoot her with silly string, Duct tape her to the wall, or throw a pie in her face! If a grade level raises $1,000 they will get to silly string all of their teachers! Please support Ewalt to get to do really fun things!
