EHS recently hosted 21 Cocalico High School students for a friendly day of activities, including Spanish trivia and a language competition. Gracias, Aguilas!
The Ephrata Area School District recently received a donation - over $3,500 - from the GIANT Company to be used within the Food Services Department. Through the Feeding School Kids initiative, the GIANT Company and its customers raised money to address the issue of childhood hunger throughout local public school districts in the communities they serve. Customers at GIANT stores were invited to round up their grocery purchases to the nearest dollar or convert their “choice” points into a donation for their local public schools’ food programs. “We are grateful for this donation. It will aid in ensuring that all students in the District have adequate access to meals, helping students to reach their full potential,” stated District Food Service Director Teri Gamez. (Students and staff pose for a photo with a GIANT Company representative.)
The excitement for the solar eclipse is off the charts! It’s definitely a #MountaineerMoment these students will remember! Plus, Izzy enjoyed getting in on the action with her classmates!
