Our second-graders are using their #EASDLifeReady creativity and collaboration skills to build prototypes of local community business as part of their annual Cornerstone project! Impressive work, Mountaineers!
Our 2nd graders are about to bring local businesses to life through their Cornerstone project prototypes! Today, architect Charlie Yohe inspired them with stories, insights, and the importance of #EASDLifeReady traits. Stay tuned for their creations next month!
The annual EASD Coding Contest kicked off this week, and we have been very impressed by students' #EASDLifeReady collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking! Now, it its 10th year, we are grateful to the Ephrata Area Education Foundation for their ongoing support of the EASD Coding Contest.
During School Social Work Week, join us in thanking these incredible Mountaineers for their important work in our schools and communities!
40 student teams recently competed in the annual EASD K'NEX Challenge to design a prototype that addresses a real-world problem related to infrastructure, transportation, or urban development. The goal is to inspire students to think about how cities, roads, bridges, and systems can be built or improved to be more efficient, sustainable, and accessible. Teams from EIS and Akron Elementary School were the top-finishers and will represent EASD next month at the IU13 level of competition. Congrats, Mountaineers!
Last night's School Board meeting was full of highlights! Directors approved full-day Kindergarten for 25-26, celebrated music and athletics achievements, highlighted Ag Mechanics and Student Tutoring, and honored "Be The E" staff. Plus, directors were recognized for School Board Recognition Month.
Our first year in the @inventitforward Invention Convention was a success! Out of 500+ PA entries, THREE EASD teams were named among the top 21 in the STATE! These students will compete on Feb. 12 for a spot in the June National Convention. Congrats & Good Luck, Mountaineers!
After finishing the book "Rap A Tap Tap" and learning all about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, Akron Kindergartners taped pennies to the soles of their sneakers or brought their own tap shoes to participate in their very own tap class today! Look at that focus and determination! Great job, Mountaineers!
We are proud to again be a part of GIANT Feeding School Kids initiative. Since 2021, over $19,000 has been provided to help ensure all EASD students have adequate access to meals. Now – March 31 "round up at the register" to help support this worthy cause!
Nothing but smiles on Mountaineer Pride Fridays!

Welcome back, Mountaineers!
From a special drone adventure to a creative PTO paint night, these Akron Mountaineers have been learning through a variety of memorable experiences.
Look at all of these happy Akron Mountaineers enjoying their Red Ribbon Week! Can you guess all of the themes?
What a beautiful fall day for the annual 4th grade field trip to the Ephrata Cloister. Students will use what learned today to reflect upon and answer the question: How has PA changed over time?
