After a long hiatus, the Scholastic Book Fair is finally back at East Palestine Middle School from March 16 through March 20. We’ve missed the excitement of students discovering their next favorite book! Students are invited to visit the fair immediately after finishing their lunch.
We highly encourage parents to utilize the Scholastic eWallet system. It’s a safe, cashless way for your student to shop without worrying about lost coins or bills.
We can’t wait to see our Bulldogs browsing the shelves again!

Yesterday, Mrs. Peterson’s 6th Grade Social Studies students completed their investigation into the preservation methods used in Ancient Egypt. After two weeks of resting in salt-rich natron, the hot dog mummies were finally unearthed! The sarcophagi were removed, and the bandages were unwrapped. Next, a final inspection was conducted.
Mrs. Peterson challenged the students to find the perfect adjectives to describe the appearance, texture, and, of course, the smell of their mummified creations. It turns out that 3,000 years of tradition—condensed into 14 days—leads to some very vivid vocabulary!

Two thumbs up for Officer Mike!

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!
