Teachers change lives every day—sparking curiosity, building confidence, and shaping the future. Thank you, Lancaster STEM Alliance, for inviting EASD to collaborate on this video project recognizing the amazing work of educators in our region! https://youtu.be/vx0wYAyIZoc?si=8CyM5YkcgWvMn3p1
#EASDLifeReady In Action: Fulton 4th graders are participating in a collaborative Socratic seminar to deepen their understanding of the book "Fish in a Tree" through thoughtful questioning, active listening, and the respectful exchange of diverse perspectives.
Celebrating Public Education! At tonight’s school board meeting, Clay Elementary School 2nd graders showcased their Mystery Science projects — creative bird feeder prototypes that highlight hands-on learning and student engagement. Plus! Makenna Heckman was recognized for her golf achievements, and well-deserving staff members received "Be The E" awards.
The fun and learning are sky-high on this half day! From the middle school Clash of Classes to elementary STEAM Days, students are making memories through hands-on, high-energy experiences. A big thank you to the Ephrata Area Education Foundation for helping make these opportunities possible! Have a safe and enjoyable long weekend, Mountaineers. We’ll see you back on Monday!
The votes are counted and secrets are safe…for now! Find out TONIGHT at the Homecoming football game who takes the crown and what our mascot’s new name will be!
A big thank-you to members of the the local VFW Auxiliary for visiting Fulton Elementary School today! Every year they share an important lesson on flag history and etiquette — and today, 4th graders even got hands-on practicing their flag folding technique. ❤️🤍💙
School pride never tasted so good! 💜💛 Our cafeterias are dishing out purple and gold cauliflower — because even our veggies are team players!
Exciting news! Last year, groups of elementary and EIS students participated in short writing contests with Young Writers. The challenge? Create a story or poem in 100 words or less based on a theme. Out of hundreds (even thousands) of entries nationwide, many EASD students are now published authors! We're so proud of their creativity and hard work!
REMINDER: EASD schools and offices will be closed Friday, August 29 & Monday, September 1. Best wishes for a safe and relaxing weekend!
HIGH FIVE! We did it! Great job this week, Mountaineers! See you back on Tuesday!
On National Dog Day we’re celebrating our two amazing Facility Dogs, Izzy and Bentley, who bring comfort and joy to everyone they meet. Bentley works hard every day reminding us what true loyalty looks like, while Izzy… well, let’s just say she’s balancing her time between her Facility Dog duties and moonlighting at Penn State. Rumor has it she’s working on her degree in “Advanced Belly Rub Studies” with a minor in Treat Negotiations. Thank you, Izzy and Bentley, for the pawsitive impact you make every single day!

Our Kindergarteners are off to a wonderful first day! They’re making new friends, settling into their classrooms, and already beginning the exciting journey of learning and growing together this year.
There were countless smiles and energetic high-fives this morning! We are happy to report all students have arrived safely and the 2025-2026 school year is officially underway! Let's make it a great one!
Please join us in welcoming the newest member of the Mountaineer family! Look for him at sporting events, in our schools, and throughout the community!
A special thank you to Ryan Rydzewski & Gregg Behr for sharing their blueprint for learning and motivating our staff to embody LRG traits to “Be The E” every day.
Educators are engaged and energized to bring another inspiring school year to students!
It's been a fantastic start to the week with our incredible teachers back in school! This afternoon, we’ll all come together for our official District Opening—the perfect way to kick off a great school year before we welcome students back on Monday.
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.
Fulton students have been earning Mount Money all year when demonstrating positive behaviors! Many spent it on fun experiences like ice cream making and sports activities, while others saved up to donate. Over $200 is being given to Ephrata Area Social Services, as a result. Way to go, Mountaineers! 💜💛
