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!

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.

SURPRISE!
On Friday, we surprised 177 EPMS students with a PBIS Glow Dance to celebrate their commitment to our school-wide expectations. In our PBIS framework, we look for students who "lead the pack" through kindness and accountability—and this group did exactly that!

We had a blast celebrating 98 EPHS students at Past Times for our latest PBIS incentive!
These students were recognized for their outstanding behavior and commitment to our school values. Seeing them unwind and enjoy some vintage gaming fun was the highlight of our week! Keep up the great work, Bulldogs!

Snow days are the best days, but a "snow break" during school might be even better!
Our 4th-grade crew headed outside for a bit today to soak up the snow and burn off some energy!

Big round of applause for our latest Honor and Merit Roll achievers at EPHS! These students aren't just hitting the books; they’re building the skills they need to lead the way in whatever comes next.
Whether you’re a freshman just starting out or a senior finishing strong, we see your effort and we salute your success. Keep pushing, Bulldogs!
