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.
