EWMS alumni become life-long learners who enjoy using their talents and expanding their knowledge to the benefit of the global and local communities. Periodically, we will showcase EWMS alumni who exemplify the spirit of our school.

Volunteering
If you have extra time in your month (or your week) consider coming down to your elementary school to spend time with the children. We always welcome adults who wish to listen to children read, are willing to type their dictated stories, or have an expertise to share at a weekly assembly. Call the school if you’re interested in volunteering (302-656-1498).
