We're incredibly proud to celebrate two of our very own, Deacon Norton and Maxx Kunselman, who recently completed the prestigious Aviation Career Education (A.C.E.) Academy at Kent State University! This fantastic opportunity was possible through the Enriching Opportunities for Every Child (EOEC-NC) grant, which was awarded to EPMS.
This intensive, week-long program provided Deacon and Maxx with an unparalleled experience in the world of aviation. They had the incredible opportunity to:
*Take the controls of a single-engine Cessna.
*Explore commercial and corporate jets.
*Learn about advanced air mobility, including drones.
*Go behind the scenes with a special tour of Cleveland-Hopkins Airport.
*Experience Kent State University's state-of-the-art flight and Air Traffic Control (ATC) simulators.
*Gain insights into unique aspects of military flight operations.
We are thrilled to see our students pursuing unique learning opportunities that expand their horizons and prepare them for success in an ever-evolving world.

Mrs. Offenburg has been a guiding light for so many of our youngest learners, fostering a love for learning and creating countless treasured memories. Her presence in our schools will be deeply missed.

Some of our EPMS students recently took their architecture studies beyond the classroom with a visit to Fallingwater—Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic masterpiece—thanks to funding from the Enriching Opportunities for Every Child (EOEC-NC) grant, awarded to EPMS.
As part of this immersive learning experience, students participated in the Gnome House Design Symposium, putting their creativity to the test by designing imaginative homes for gnomes.
Special thank you to Mrs. Goodchild for her leadership, as she was the course instructor during the after-school program.
Real-world inspiration + playful design = future architects in the making.
