Bringing learning to life... Fifth graders stepped into history during a memorable learning experience tied to their social studies and ELA classes. Students worked collaboratively to raise a tipi from the ground up, then gathered inside to deepen their understanding of Native American history and culture.
During a recent 8th grade Mountaineer Mindset lesson, students chose from a variety of activities on a choice board. Aria West created this comic strip to demonstrate the Life Ready Graduate skill of Continual Learning and Growth Mindset. Her exceptional creativity and artistry made her work truly stand out! Great work, Aria!
Elementary students are already earning Mount Money this school year by demonstrating positive behaviors and being helpful classmates! A group of Fulton Elementary School students recently chose to spend their earnings on a floral experience, creating beautiful arrangements to share with staff and take home to loved ones. What a thoughtful way to spread kindness!
Mounts Pride filled the gym during today’s EHS Homecoming Pep Rally! From friendly competitions to our staff’s masked-singer performances, the excitement was contagious. Happy Homecoming Weekend, Mountaineers! The festivities continue at tonight’s game and tomorrow’s dance. 💜💛
Beautiful weather is making for a great week of learning along Cocalico Creek! Groups of seventh graders have been collaborating outdoors during their annual stream study - an important part of their year-long Cornerstone project focused on building healthy, sustaining civilizations.
What a way to kick off the weekend! If you know a Mountaineer in 7th or 8th grade, ask them about Clash of Classes today. The energy was off the charts. It's AWESOME to see hundreds of students and staff collectively embody the EASD culture, collaborate in some friendly competition, and earn points for being a great teammate. Keep up the great work, Mountaineers! We can't wait to see which Color Squad will end the 26-27 school year at the top!
Fulton Elementary School was full of carnival-themed fun and learning today! From creating a balloon mural to constructing roller-coaster marble tracks and more, students put collaboration, teamwork, creativity, and many other #EASDLifeReady traits into action. A special shoutout to the Ephrata High School students who helped lead the stations and worked alongside our younger Mountaineers.
Kindergarteners had a blast at their annual Tent City field trips earlier this week. Students participated in a variety of hands-on learning sessions led by our EHS Cloister FFA students. What a great experience for all involved!
REMINDER: There is no school for students tomorrow, Thursday, September 24!
Today was a great day for a fresh-air classroom! These fourth graders took their ELA work outside, soaking up the sunshine and beautiful weather while learning.
Hooray! The first day of Kindergarten is underway! We can't wait to see all the growth our youngest Mountaineers will have this school year!
The Class of 2027 started their last first day with the annual Senior Sunrise breakfast today. Best wishes for a memorable senior year, Mountaineers!
HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! We are thrilled to see so many smiling faces this morning as we kick off the start to the 2026-2027 school year. Welcome back, Mountaineers!
During our final school board meeting of the 2025-2026 school year, we are proud to recognize many students for a variety of commendable achievements in both athletics and academics. Well done, Mountaineers!

School may be out for summer, but our Mountaineers continue their learning.
Today, EHS social studies teachers visited the Historical Society of the Cocalico Valley for a private tour of the museum and library, including an opportunity to use a 19th-century printing press! They had a great time exploring local history and look forward to incorporating what they learned with students next school year.

That’s a wrap at EIS! Wishing you all a safe and happy summer!
Until next year, Mountaineers! Have a great summer!
The last day of school is always extra special, especially when it involves a pancake breakfast and an arrival to Akron Elementary School in a fire truck! Awesome!
