Ephrata Middle School -

We are so proud of our undefeated Unified Track team!

It’s the 20th anniversary of the Ephrata Area Education Foundation! We are so grateful for all they do to support innovation and inspire achievement for our students and staff! Thanks to all who celebrated with us!

Celebrating Public Education: Highland Elementary School Kindergarteners showed all they've learned and created as part of their year-long Cornerstone which is focused on the question, "Why are animals important in our community?"

Tonight's School Board Resolutions included state swimming and national quiz bowl student achievements. Mrs. Lori Long was also publicly recognized for being named the local, regional, and state VFW Teacher of the Year. #MountsPride

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!

Students were also recognized at last night's VFW banquet for their Patriot's Pen essays entitled "America Inspires Me." Congratulations to Jackson Hogarth (first place), Charlotte Good (second place), and Addy Klopp (third place). #MountsPride #EASDLifeReady

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.

On Paraprofessional Appreciation Day, we extend a sincere thank you to these Mountaineers who go above and beyond every day. Their job is not an easy one, and we appreciate their hard work and dedication to making a difference in students' lives!

Izzy was happy to provide her expertise on politics and more with Senator Aument today!

REMINDER: Students' spring break begins tomorrow Thursday, March 28 and runs through Monday, April 1. EASD offices will be closed on Friday, March 20 only. Best wishes for a safe and happy break. We will look forward to having students back on Tuesday, April 2.

This weekend is the EIMS spring musical! Students in grades 5-8 have been working for months to prepare their production of Into The Woods Jr. Support their efforts and see one (or both) shows tonight and tomorrow!
