Yesterday, our auditorium was filled with pride as we hosted two incredible EPMS Awards Ceremonies to honor our students' hard work, dedication, and leadership this year.

From stellar academic achievements to demonstrating outstanding character, these Bulldogs have shown what it truly means to strive for excellence.

To our amazing EPMS students: Your hard work hasn't gone unnoticed, and we can’t wait to see how you continue to grow. To the parents, guardians, and staff who supported them every step of the way—thank you for being the ultimate support system! And specifically to our 8th graders - best of luck next year as you transition to EPHS - you'll do amazing things!!!

It was a beautiful day to be outside at the East Palestine City Park! Today was the final year-end PBIS incentive event for those students at EPMS who earned it.

There’s nothing better than seeing our community spaces filled with the laughter and energy of our excellent students. They’ve done an incredible job modeling positive behavior this year, and today's park day was the perfect reward!

A massive congratulations to Braydon Plum, Landyn Cope, and RJ May as they head to the Division V State Track Meet at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on June 4th-5th!

These boys didn't just qualify at Regionals; they put on a show:
* Braydon Plum punched his ticket to State by shattering a 75-year-old school record in the 400m Dash at 49.74 seconds!
* Landyn Cope (110m Hurdles) won an unbelievable photo finish, securing his state berth by just .002 seconds!
* RJ May (300m Hurdles) clocked a stellar personal best to join them on the big stage!

The entire community is behind you, boys. Go show Ohio what Bulldog grit is all about!

Mrs. Peterson's 6th-grade students engaged in a lesson focused on entrepreneurship and economics. They collaborated in teams to create an original invention or business idea. Afterward, they developed a "Shark Tank" style presentation to try to convince some savvy "sharks" to invest in their businesses. There was a lot of hard work and creativity throughout the process!

Did you know that students can lose one to two months of reading proficiency over the summer? It's a real trend often called the "summer slide," but the best defense is simple: consistent, low-pressure reading!

We are incredibly lucky to have a wonderful resource right here in town to make summer reading fun and engaging. A huge THANK YOU to Miss Noreen and Miss Ivy from the East Palestine Memorial Public Library for visiting EPES today! They did a fantastic job introducing our students to the library and getting everyone excited for what's ahead.

The library’s official Summer Reading Program kicks off on June 6th! Let’s keep those sharp minds active all summer long. Be sure to stop by the library, grab a library card, and sign up for the summer program!

Over the past month, Miss Barkett’s 7th-grade students have had a front-row seat to the wonders of nature. They started with tiny little caterpillars and carefully observed them as they went through the incredible process of metamorphosis.
And now.......they have been released into nature!

Gravity + Friction + Pringles = A major STEM victory!

Mrs. Herman’s 4th graders tackled the Pringles Ringle Challenge—building a self-supporting ring with absolutely no glue or tape. It took serious teamwork and strategy, but one group pulled it off!

High five to Amelia, Paxton, Vayda, and Lilly for making their Pringles ring stand tall!

Today, we honor the brave and remember the fallen.
Ahead of Memorial Day, EPHS Juniors received a special visit from Randall Tebay with the East Palestine American Legion Post 31. Our students learned about the history of the day and were given flags to carry forward the tradition of remembrance.

Thank you to the American Legion for inspiring our Bulldogs to honor those who served.
