We also want to give a special shoutout to our incredible staff members who stepped up (and into costume!) to make the magic happen. Your dedication to our students shines through in everything you do!

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!

A huge thank you to Officer Mike Brindisi for his unwavering commitment to the East Palestine School District. From ensuring a safe learning environment to building meaningful connections with our students, Officer Mike is an essential part of our Bulldog family.

He’s always there when we need him, and today, we’re making sure he knows how much he’s appreciated.

Two thumbs up for Officer Mike!
