Ephrata Area School District -

The Celebrating Public Education portion of the monthly school board meeting continued with resolutions for MANY post-season individual and team athletic achievements by our field hockey, volleyball, soccer, and football teams. Congratulations, Mountaineers!

Board members also got to meet the newest members of the Mountaineer family, EIMS facility dogs Izzy & Camden.

Celebrating Public Education: EIS students are showing school board members their computer science skills and what it takes to code and fly a drone. #EASDLifeReady #MountsPride

Meet A Mountaineer!

​A good question for all of us to inspire reflection & gratitude… What brings you joy? Many Fulton students started school today by writing down their answers. #EASDLifeReady #MountsPride​

Akron Elementary School students are using not only their math skills to practice fractions and measuring, but their #EASDLifeReady collaboration and teamwork skills to follow a recipe and make banana bread. Once complete, the bread will be given as gifts to many school helpers!

Always a holiday highlight, EHS students in the autistic and life skills programs hosted their annual open house today. Students are involved in every aspect, from crafting items to making monetary transactions. Well done, Mountaineers!

The team at Ephrata Middle School is collaborating to create an epic mural for their school. We can't wait to see the finished product!

The EIMS Leo Club obtained 55 donations of hats, scarves, and gloves as part of the Neighborhood Santa program to help local children. The hearts of these Mountaineers bring much #MountsPride!

As part of a variety of fundraising efforts, EHS students and staff faced off today in the annual Tis The Season Fa La La La Feud game show to raise over $10,000 to help local families in need this year.

STEAM Day was a 2-day event at Highland this month. Students were enthusiastically engaged in a variety of STEAM activities while using their critical thinking and collaborative #EASDLifeReady skills. Awesome! Thanks to the Ephrata Area Education Foundation!

During the December half-day, great career insights were shared with students in 11th grade. Thanks to our community partners for making this possible and inspiring our students.

We love welcoming community partners into our schools! On Wednesday, December 6, eight business leaders spoke to students in 8th grade as part of the annual Cornerstone kickoff.

Let's get to know our Mountaineer staff! FIRST UP...

The December school board reorganization meeting included District Justice Tony Russell administering the Oath of Office to newly elected and reelected officers. We welcome Jason Breckbill and thank all board members for their service to our students, staff and community.

Congrats to the most recent inductees to the Ephrata High School National Honor Society. #MountsPride #EASDLifeReady

​The artwork of the Ephrata Area School District annual holiday card this year was drawn by Jasmine Teleguz. Well done, Jasmine!

Celebrating Public Education: Several students in 8th grade each gave a short presentation in the format of inspirational TedTalks. Students chose the topics of limited screen time to experience the outdoors, integrity, and trust. Each communicated their concepts and thoughts very confidently. Well done, Mountaineers! School Board Resolutions included the state athletic achievements of cross country and girls’ volleyball, as well as the service of retiring Board member, Dr. Nancy Aronson.

Today, a group of elementary students are having a Thanksgiving feast. This activity encourages students with autism to practice social skills, communication, and functional life skills outside of the classroom. #MountsPride #EASDLifeReady
