Weekly Summer News June 12, 2015 Dear Parents, Hip-hop hooray, as promised we have honored our commitment of enhancing PWA’s technology across the building. We purchased the projectors for the elementary teachers earlier this year and have signed the contract to install cameras downstairs on the infant/toddler preschool wing for $13,600. This year we raised $4,674.00 through fundraising. Next year we hope to continue raising money to cover the costs of the cameras and installation. Our goal is to install cameras throughout the building in phases. Thank you to everyone who participated in our fundraisers for the year and helping us enrich Prince William Academy. The Kindergarten graduation was spectacular. Our rising 1st graders did a wonderful job with their performances and graduation ceremony. Thank you to all of the teachers, parents and staff who volunteered time and resources to ensure the ceremony was a success.
