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!

On Friday, we surprised 177 EPMS students with a PBIS Glow Dance to celebrate their commitment to our school-wide expectations. In our PBIS framework, we look for students who "lead the pack" through kindness and accountability—and this group did exactly that!

Our 6th graders are bringing Ancient Egypt to life in the most exciting way!
Today, Mrs. Peterson helped them transform into junior Egyptologists, learning the intricate process of mummification by preserving hot dogs!
This hands-on experiment isn't just fun – it’s a brilliant way to explore Ohio Learning Standards in Social Studies, helping students understand ancient Egyptian culture, scientific innovation, and their unique beliefs about the afterlife.
Stay tuned for updates on our mummified hot dogs' progress!

We are thrilled to announce that the East Palestine School District has been awarded grant funding through the Ohio School Bus Safety Grant program!
Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce announced $10 million in funding to improve student transportation across the state—and we are proud to be a recipient!
This funding will be used to modernize our existing fleet with critical safety upgrades, ensuring a safer commute for our students every day. Our students' journey to and from school is just as important as their time in the classroom. We are grateful for this support in keeping our Bulldogs safe on the road!

School counselors are the bridge between where a student is and where they want to be. They provide the tools for managing emotions, the skills for building relationships, and the roadmap for life after graduation. And so much more!
We want to extend a huge thank you to Mrs. Neider, Mrs. Sherry, and Mrs. Randolph for being that bridge for our students. Your dedication to the East Palestine community makes a lasting difference in the lives of our children every single day.
It's National School Counseling Week! Join us in saying thank you!
