#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




Congratulations to all 2024-25 EHS inductees to the National Honor Society!

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.

Welcome back, Mountaineers!


The holidays are upon us and Ephrata Intermediate School Leo Club students are already prepping their Stockings for Soldiers that will be sent overseas later next month. We love seeing these #EASDLifeReady traits in action! Well done, Mountaineers!





From a special drone adventure to a creative PTO paint night, these Akron Mountaineers have been learning through a variety of memorable experiences.







Our students continue to benefit from the amazing programs offered by Lone Oak Therapeutic & Educational Services. Sessions focus on a variety of #EASDLifeReady skills and dispositions which benefit students well beyond the barn and the classroom. Well done, Mountaineers!

We love to see Mountaineers' school spirit, especially when it provides inspiration for trick-or-treating on Halloween. #MountsPride

The 5th Grade Cornerstone kicked off with nearly 30 community leaders. Students learned about a variety of careers to inspire their “Mounts Run This Town” projects and potentially their future endeavors. Thanks to our amazing community partners for making this possible! Oh, and it was also "Hat Day!" 😀









Look at all of these happy Akron Mountaineers enjoying their Red Ribbon Week! Can you guess all of the themes?
