Yesterday, Mrs. Peterson’s 6th Grade Social Studies students completed their investigation into the preservation methods used in Ancient Egypt. After two weeks of resting in salt-rich natron, the hot dog mummies were finally unearthed! The sarcophagi were removed, and the bandages were unwrapped. Next, a final inspection was conducted.

Mrs. Peterson challenged the students to find the perfect adjectives to describe the appearance, texture, and, of course, the smell of their mummified creations. It turns out that 3,000 years of tradition—condensed into 14 days—leads to some very vivid vocabulary!

When we lift others up, great things happen.....kindness spreads!
Just like our middle school, East Palestine Elementary is now also utilizing a Kindness eWall where students and staff can be recognized for the great things they're doing.

Students, staff, and families can post anonymous, uplifting messages that are approved before being displayed publicly, currently in our cafeteria.

We encourage everyone to take a few moments to lift someone up—recognize a student’s effort, thank a colleague, or share a kind word!

Taking a trip through Array City at EPES!

If you look closely at our student-made skyline, you’ll see some familiar local favorites! Our students used real-world inspiration to practice their multiplication (Rows x Columns = Total Windows). We love seeing our kids connect their classroom lessons to the world around them here in East Palestine.

Our latest Learn to Teach – Teach to Learn workshop was a delicious success! Our students took a deep dive into the art of making handmade gnocchi!

The best part? Once they mastered the technique, they were able to share their creations with family. It’s one thing to follow a recipe, but it’s another to have fun while doing it!

We can't wait to see what's next on the calendar for this fantastic program!

Today, some of our EPHS students stepped into the future during Huntington Bank Reality Days!

Students were challenged with real-life scenarios, from managing monthly salaries to navigating unexpected expenses. By working through these budgets, they gained a much better understanding of fiscal responsibility and what it takes to balance life’s "price tag."

A huge THANK YOU to Huntington Bank for investing your time and expertise into our students. We appreciate you helping our Bulldogs prepare for a bright (and balanced!) financial future.
