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!
#EASDLifeReady Mountaineers give back! Akron Elementary School fourth-graders recently took their annual trip to Dutch-Way to spend the money they earned during a special Reading Day on items they will donate to Ephrata Area Social Services. #MountsPride

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?
As National School Lunch Week comes to an end, we are sending a loud SHOUT-OUT (and an "AHOY, MATEY") to our amazing food service staff! Thank you for all you do!
It's a Mountaineer Pride Friday! These students love being Mountaineers...and baseball, of course!
Students are showing their patriotism today, as well as honoring the brave first responders who keep our community safe on a daily basis. #MountsPride #PatriotDay
Check out all of the free early learning activities we have coming up for our youngest Mountaineers and their families.
Akron Elementary is the next EASD school to get a super cool book vending machine, thanks to the Ephrata Area Education Foundation. Students will earn tokens throughout the school year to select books to take home and keep for themselves - https://youtu.be/MpM4mKKiO_A
The August School Board Resolutions included student athlete Softball Coaches Association state honors, Dr. Laura Mandell earning a Doctorate in Curriculum and Instruction, and School Board members’ recognition for many commendable years of service.
Congratulations to the following staff who recently celebrated Mountaineer Milestone Anniversaries with EASD.
