Mark your calendars! The East Palestine School District is honored to host the "Shoot For The Cure" benefit basketball game on Thursday, November 20th, with an initial tip-off at 5:30 p.m. in the EPHS Gym.

This is more than just a game—it's a demonstration of community as four school districts—East Palestine, Columbiana, Crestview, and Heartland Christian —come together to support a beloved member of our family, Coach Rick Gates, and his daughter Aricka Gates.

100% of all proceeds from the gate, concessions, raffles, gift baskets, and private donations will go directly to the Gates family.

This morning was truly special as we were beyond honored to open our doors and host a Senior Citizens Breakfast for our valued community members! It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the incredible talent and exemplary programs offered across our district:

-2nd Graders touched our hearts with their reading of original poetry.
-Our bright Middle School students shared details about the remarkable educational opportunities they pursued this past summer.
-High School students demonstrated their civic engagement by discussing their inspiring visions for contributing to the landscape of downtown East Palestine!

To conclude the event, which was focused on embodying true Bulldog Pride, our talented music students performed the Alma Mater, beautifully bringing us all together in tradition and song.
Thank you to the members of our community who attended and to our students for making this such a memorable morning!
