Our graduating seniors were welcomed with enthusiastic cheers, handmade signs, and countless high-fives from our youngest learners lining the halls when they returned to their elementary schools today. Along the way, they reconnected with former teachers, revisited old classrooms, and reflected on how far they’ve come. This heartwarming tradition is cherished by students, staff, and especially our graduates. Congratulations, Class of 2026!








It was a beautiful day for Fulton’s Mount Money Experience! Over 40 students chose to spend their Mount Money on a hands-on animal experience with EHS Cloister FFA students, featuring horses, goats, chicks, a newborn calf, and more.
The best part? This experience was made possible by first-grader Wyatt, who saved his Mount Money and chose to share this special opportunity with his classmates.

Congrats to our elementary students who received Mountaineer Recognition Awards. From earning 1st place in the Coding Content to qualifying for the PA Invention Convention and much more, students had a special visit from Dr. Troop today to recognize a variety of achievements.



HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY! We look forward to welcoming our Mountaineers back to school tomorrow, Tuesday, May 26.
Congrats to the top finishers in the annual Math 24 Competition. Over 200 EASD students in grades 3-5 took part in the fast-paced, tournament-style math challenge where students compete to use four given numbers and basic arithmetic operations to make exactly 24. The competition builds mental math, number sense, and quick problem-solving skills through increasingly difficult rounds. We celebrate all who participated and recognize our finalists for their outstanding performance.




Calling all rising fourth grade families...

It’s National Library Week! This year’s theme, “Find Your Joy,” celebrates the power of libraries to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.
We’re proud of our Ephrata Area School District learners and educators who make our libraries vibrant spaces for discovery every day. Thank you for turning pages into possibilities and helping every student find their joy!

Checkmate! ♟️This year, Fulton Elementary launched a new chess club, and students are all in! Meeting weekly, they’re growing their love for the game while building important #EASDLifeReady skills.



Thank you to our generous community and Giant for "rounding up at the register" to help ensure all students are well fed and ready to learn!

If you think their hands are full, you should see their hearts! 💜💛 Thank you to our team of paraprofessionals for the meaningful work they do to support our students and staff.

School Board Directors learned about Mystery Science from many bright kindergartners! Well done!

History came alive for our 4th graders! As part of their study of Pennsylvania history and the Ephrata Cloister, volunteers from the local historical society recently visit Fulton Elementary to provide hands-on learning experiences and a glimpse into what life was like when Ephrata was founded.




Shout out to our amazing team of EASD School Counselors and the important work they do to support our students!

EASD is proud to partner once again with Blue Ridge for their annual Touch a Heart campaign. Our students created heartfelt, handmade cards filled with personal messages that will be delivered to local nursing home residents, veterans, and soldiers serving overseas - spreading kindness, gratitude, and connection near and far.

Now through March 31, round up at the GIANT register to support the Feeding School Kids initiative and help EASD students in need. GIANT will match donations up to $100,000!
