EPMS students on the road…again! Another week of in-depth learning on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University, in the areas of 3D printing, animation, coding, and the application of statistics to build a successful fantasy sports team. Students also enjoyed some adventuring around Pittsburgh as they visited Heinz Chapel, Schenley Park, the Carnegie Library, and the Cathedral of Learning.
No one can stop our Bulldogs!

Our Bulldogs were at it again!
We're so proud of our dedicated East Palestine Middle School Bulldogs who chose to expand their horizons even during summer break! A group attended the Emerging Engineers 3-Day Camp at Kent State University, an incredible opportunity made possible by the *Expanding Opportunities for Each Child* grant awarded to EPMS. It's inspiring to see them actively engaging with STEM and setting themselves up for success!







A huge shout-out and thank you to Bush Heating for their generous donation of 3 new Samsung mini-split heat pump systems in the East Palestine School District's weight room! These systems are going to be a game-changer, making sure our student-athletes stay comfortable, even during the "Dog Days of Summer."
Thanks, Bush Heating, for helping our Dawgs feel cooler!

Our EP150 Band is almost ready to march!
This Saturday, July 12th, remember:
*Parent/adult sign-in is required for EPMS Band Members at the park gazebo between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
*Bring your instrument (no case needed!).
*Wear your awesome Bulldog colors!
*Students will be dismissed at the American Legion at the end of the route.
