Our facility dogs Bentley and Izzy are extra cozy on the job today in their holiday jammies!
Join us in congratulating these Mountaineers who completed the six-week Attollo program, meeting before school at 6AM three times a week, and focusing on the Six Pillars – Strong Mind, Competition, Resiliency, Accountability, Sacrifice, and Finishing Strong. Students set individualized plans of action and can now also solve the Rubiks Cube in under two minutes. IMPRESSIVE! Students shared they feel empowered by their hard work and dedication and “feel like they can accomplish anything.” #MountsPride #EASDLifeReady
These amazing Mountaineers - along with many classmates not pictured - hosted another fantastic Holiday Open House today with a variety of items they crafted themselves. This annual event features the work of EHS students in our life skills, autistic support, and Bridges classes. Students also use their communication and customer service skills to tour all shoppers through the open house and their math skills at the final point-of-sale station. Great job, Mountaineers!
Over the last 17 years, students in grades 5-8, who are part of the Leo Club, collected 1,929 cold weather accessories for those in need. Well done, Mountaineers!
Elementary students enjoyed a holiday breakfast for lunch. Just look at those smiles! Clay students thought this was a perfect reason to also wear PJs to school! Good thinking, Mountaineers!
#EASDLifeReady Mountaineers give back! Akron Elementary School fourth-graders recently took their annual trip to Dutch-Way to spend the money they earned during a special Reading Day on items they will donate to Ephrata Area Social Services. #MountsPride

Last week, a group of EHS students and staff kicked off their holiday break with an NYC trip to experience the Guggenheim and Metropolitan Museum of Art, including an exhibit of resilience by EHS alum Jesse Krimes. Students shared they also enjoyed seeing the artwork of Claude Monet, the armor & arms exhibit at The Met, and walking through Central Park.
