The Shadow A Student Challenge was in full swing this week as EASD administrators collaborated with students to explore the question: What is it like to be a student for a day? Engaging with empathy and an open mind, administrators actively embraced the student perspective. They will subsequently reflect on these experiences to ensure that #EASDLifeReady learning is successfully carried out.
Congratulations to our EHS LCYA Award Winners!
A record-setting number of 930 pieces were submitted this year from Lancaster County students. Mark your calendars to attend the gallery opening and congratulate these Mountaineers in person - Friday, March 8, 5-8 PM, Pennsylvania College of Art and Design.
Today is our annual Junior Achievement Real Life Forum for all EHS juniors to explore real-world budget scenarios and participate in financially-themed activities. While working with a "financial advisor,” students balance a monthly budget based on a fictitious family, salary, credit score, and debt to make savings and expense decisions. Students are also introduced to a variety of additional topics, including obtaining insurance, making key life decisions, and being aware of product pricing.
Thanks to our community volunteers for making this a successful event every year!
