Incoming 9th grader Ajay Urichko competed at the 2026 New Balance Nationals, taking on both the 100m and 200m events on a national stage. We’re proud to see him representing EP and gaining experience at this level of competition!

We are hosting the student-only 5th Grade Rise & Shine Event on Tuesday, August 18, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at East Palestine Middle School (320 West Grant). Students should enter through the Thomas St doors for an exciting morning of fun activities, meeting the 5th-grade team, and learning to maneuver from class to class. They will also get to locate their lockers, practice their combinations, and enjoy lunch together.

Mr. Boozell's 7th graders, with help from Mrs. Sherry, participated in a friendly "Around the World" challenge to practice their multiplication facts.

Our younger bulldogs enjoyed a lesson on kitchen safety and had some fun making pepperoni crescent rolls! Such great teamwork!








Mrs. Peterson's 6th-grade students engaged in a lesson focused on entrepreneurship and economics. They collaborated in teams to create an original invention or business idea. Afterward, they developed a "Shark Tank" style presentation to try to convince some savvy "sharks" to invest in their businesses. There was a lot of hard work and creativity throughout the process!
