Classrooms across EASD are filled with festive, holiday-inspired learning today! It’s wonderful to see the holiday spirit shining so brightly in our schools.
Yet another, wonderful way to celebrate the season! Congratulations to our students selected for the LLMEA County Band, Orchestra, and Choir. Their hard work and commitment truly shine, and we’re proud to see them represent our school and community. Bravo to all!
Akron Elementary School fourth-graders completed their annual outreach project this week to fulfill the grocery lists of local families in need. A special thanks to Dutch-Way for helping to keep this annual tradition going strong.
Join us in congratulating our newest crew of Attollo Scholars!
Attollo is a six-week program for juniors centered around key pillars including mindset, resilience, accountability, and more. At EHS, students committed to 5:30 AM sessions, completed mock interviews, and proved that hard work makes the impossible possible. PLUS - they each can solve a Rubik's Cube in under two minutes, a feat only 4% of people in the world can accomplish.
Well done!, Mountaineers! You make us proud!
