Ephrata Area School District -

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? https://youtu.be/IDhATqOd2ik?si=pHLIrUaX7WYGJTnZ

Meet a Mountaineer!

Ephrata Area SD @GoMounts · 7m 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

Meet A Mountaineer

Today is our first ever Unified Bocce Ball scrimmage. Learn more about the growing Unified Sports program and all it has to offer. Best of luck to these Mountaineers for a successful season! #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.

We love all the generosity on display by our students and staff this time of year! Today, Akron Elementary School 4th graders took their annual trip to shop for families in need. This year, the items selected from Dutchway will be donated to Ephrata Area Social Services.

Christmas came a bit early for Camden and Izzy today, who are now "Mountaineer Official." 💜🐶💛
