Congratulations to all of our June School Board Resolution recipients! From impressive athletic accomplishments to academic honors at the state and national levels, it was a pleasure to recognize so many deserving Mountaineers at the final board meeting of the 2024–25 school year.
After a long weekend, it was a great start to the week recognizing students in grades 5-8 with Mountaineer Achievement Awards! These students are celebrated for a variety of successes this school year. Congratulations, Mountaineers!
Our 5th Graders wowed us today with an incredible showcase of their Cornerstone Projects, each one highlighting a career of their choice! From professional athletes and chefs to veterinarians and an Air Force pilot, these young scholars dove deep into research, crafted thoughtful presentations, and confidently shared their work with family, classmates, and school leaders.
More Mountaineers giving back... Today, students from Ephrata Intermediate School's Leaders of Future Generations group visited WellSpan Health Ephrata Community Hospital with a heartfelt mission: to brighten the day of discharged patients with handmade cards and cheerful potted plants. After weeks of planning, the students rallied around their self-created motto, "Growing Seeds of Hope," which inspired both their creations and their compassionate outreach. This meaningful initiative is part of a leadership program through Compass Mark, now in its third year at EIS and implemented in three school districts across Lancaster County.
