Clay second graders recently visited Summers Trucking for a tour, safety demo, and much more, including sitting in the cabs and sounding the airhorns. Multiple students shared they want to be a mechanic or a driver some day. Thanks to Summers Trucking for providing this memorable #EASDLife Ready learning opportunity!
We hosted our first elementary Conquer the Cube Challenge this school year with a 2x2 and 3x3 division. Both require students to be adept at utilizing an algorithm to yield a solved cube. It takes practice and dedication to conquer a task like this considering you only have about a 1 in 3,000,000 chance at solving a 2x2 cube randomly and a 1 in 43,000,000,000,000,000,000 chance at solving a 3x3 cube randomly. These students finished on top and showed #EASDLifeReady critical thinking, problem solving, grit, resilience, and a growth mindset throughout their learning journey!
Congrats to the top finishers of our Math 24 challenge! Math 24 is a critical thinking game where students compete to quickly determine how four numbers can be utilized to yield the answer of 24. They can add, subtract, multiply, and divide to get the answer. PLUS! Thank you to Reagan, an Akron Elementary School fourth-grader, who made these awesome medals for the winners! Well done, Mountaineers!
A huge thank you to Todd from Sahd Metal Recycling for recently speaking with over 70 freshmen. His #EASDLifeReady presentation demonstrated dedication to sustainability and education as a whole, which will undoubtedly inspire our students.
This afternoon, we hosted our annual Retirement Reception to celebrate 13 beloved Mountaineers and over 323 years of combined service to EASD! Congratulations and best wishes in retirement. See all of our retirees here: https://youtu.be/qonOArER3Y8
Today, 8th graders exhibited many #EASDLifeReady traits during their final Cornerstone presentations, which are done “Shark Tank” style in front of a panel of five business leaders. Well done, Mountaineers!
Meet our newest Mountaineer! Bentley joined the team today as our newest facility dog.
It’s a beautiful day for Mountaineer Mini Golf! Fulton fourth-graders created multiple courses as part of a math activity and shared it with their younger schoolmates today. It was a huge hit!
Our annual EASD ESL picnic was a huge success! 40+ families attended and brought food to share, local organizations shared how they can help families thrive, and games were organized by EHS Leo Club students. Thanks to our ESL families and staff who make this a successful event each year!
More kindergarten fun with students and families today! What growth they’ve shown this school year! We are proud of you, Mountaineers!
Over 70 students in grades 6-8 received Mountaineer Recognition Awards today for embodying #EASDLifeReady traits and going above and beyond this school year. Congrats!

Happy Memorial Day! If you visited the Winters Memorial this weekend, the flags were placed there by Fulton Elementary School students. ❤️💙
Best wishes to these Mountaineers who are taking the #MountsPride to Shippensburg University for the state track meet!
What to do with outdated t-shirts? EHS students in Clothing & Design classes created these quilts with Mini-Thon t-shirts from previous school years. They were then raffled off at the Mini-Thon Duck Derby to raise money for Four Diamonds! Nice work, Mountaineers!
There is no school for students tomorrow Friday, May 24 and Monday, May 27. Best wishes for a safe and enjoyable long weekend!
Congrats to our winning Mountaineers featured in LNP today!
Clay Elementary School recently hosted a special (virtual) guest, licensed NFL agent and attorney Chris Cabott, who represents clients including Patrick Mahomes and Tua Tagovailoa.
