The Ephrata Area School District recently received a donation - over $3,500 - from the GIANT Company to be used within the Food Services Department. Through the Feeding School Kids initiative, the GIANT Company and its customers raised money to address the issue of childhood hunger throughout local public school districts in the communities they serve. Customers at GIANT stores were invited to round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or convert their “choice” points into a donation for their local public schools’ food programs. “We are grateful for this donation. It will aid in ensuring that all students in the District have adequate access to meals, helping students to reach their full potential,” stated District Food Service Director Teri Gamez. (Students and staff pose for a photo with a GIANT Company representative.)
The excitement for the solar eclipse is off the charts! It’s definitely a #MountaineerMoment these students will remember! Plus, Izzy enjoyed getting in on the action with her classmates!

Congratulations to Lori Long who was named the VFW Teacher of the Year at the local, district, and state levels! Mrs. Long is a true example of #MountsPride! She has taught for nearly 34 years at EASD and served in every one of our elementary schools. This is a very well deserved recognition, especially as she looks forward to retirement at the end of this school year.

Every year a group of distinguished Veterans visit with our freshman to share first-hand historical perspectives on the time they served in the military, many who served in Vietnam. We thank these Veterans for their service and for this memorable student leaning experience.
EHS Camerata singers rang in Music In Our Schools Month on Monday with an hour-long concert in the PA Capitol Rotunda. What a stunning venue for these talented student vocalists!
