We love hearing from our students! Our Student Engagement Facilitators' ongoing efforts to increase student voice, engagement, and belonging recently included group discussions to learn what is going well and what more can be done to help students feel successful now and in the future.
Thank you to the Lancaster Chamber for providing their mentorship program for our high school students. Students recently met their mentors, who represent a variety of professions, and look forward to all they are about to learn in the coming months. #EASDLifeReady
Congrats to the four Mountaineers who were part of the PMEA District 7 Chorus Festival this weekend. Also, a special shout-out to Sally Bollinger who qualified for the regional chorus! #MountsPride
MEET A MOUNTAINEER
Congrats to Dakota Frey (clarinet) & Micah Bautista (trombone) who successfully auditioned and were selected to participate in the PMEA Region V Honors Band held at Eastern York High School on February 22-24.
Today five teams - out of 39 - presented K'Nex concepts to a panel of judges to determine who will move on in the competition. From predator detection, trash collection & more, students embodied #EASDLifeReady traits to build prototypes to positively impact the farming industry.
We love seeing so many Mountaineers enjoying their Snow Day. See any familiar faces?

The Ephrata Police Department was invited to Highland Elementary School for National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. "We are grateful for the thoughtful gifts from students, staff, and volunteers," shared the officers.
The feeling is mutual - We are grateful for YOU!
From approximately 1:45 – 2:10 PM, all EASD schools located within Ephrata Borough were without power. Clay and Akron Elementary schools were not impacted by this power outage.
We were immediately in touch with Ephrata Borough officials, who worked with PPL to solve this issue. As of 2:10 PM, power was restored. During this short outage, the District relied on back-up generators to provide emergency lighting and power for essential operations in the schools impacted.
Most importantly, all students and staff remained safe. Dismissal will occur as regularly scheduled.
Thank you!
A group of EIS students are part of the CompassMark Leaders of Future Generation program and meet after school on a regular basis to discuss many #EASDLifeReady skills. Today, they are embodying these traits while leading activities with Akron Elementary School students.
Did you know EHS cheerleaders were selected to participate in the Citrus Bowl pregame and halftime show on New Years Day? They were among hundreds of cheerleaders from across the country who also earned this amazing opportunity. Congrats! #MountsPride

The month-long efforts of the EHS National Honor Society made available a food pantry for their classmates. This will be especially helpful to provide food for students and their families during the upcoming holiday break. #EASDLifeReady #MountsPride
The holiday spirit is strong at Clay Elementary School! Not only did kindergarteners enjoy a special story from a surprise guest reader today, students in autistic support classrooms creatively decorated an entire hallway.
