District Spotlights
School Board Guests
At the School Board meeting on Thursday, January 9th, we had student guests join us for the Cumberland Perry Area CTC presentation. Senior Madelynne Druckemiller and junior Gavin Miller accompanied the new CTC director, Mr. Tom Wolfe. Madelynne spoke about her experiences and education at the CTC, as well as her future ambitions and how she felt prepared for life after graduation. Gavin also answered questions about his experiences with CTC. Thank you to Mr. Wolfe, Madelynne, and Gavin for participating in our board meeting!
Senior Foster Lemley was also present to give the Student Representatives' Report at our School Board meeting. Foster gave our Board members a comprehensive look at all of the activities, athletics, and fine arts programming, events, and accomplishments happening in the district. Thank you Foster!
School Board Recognition
PSBA recognizes the month of January as School Board Recognition Month. At EPASD, we have a wonderful tradition of all of our schools creating a homemade gift for each of our board members. Students in each school, led by their teachers and school leaders, put love and care into these thoughtful gifts.
Students in Mr. Cornwell's Family & Consumer Sciences class recreated a family recipe and baked old-fashioned pumpkin bread, baked in steel coffee cans. Middle School students utilized the 3D printers from the STEM labs to create custom EP School Board signs. Students at West Creek Hills created a colorful and detailed artistic banner, which after being displayed for board meetings will be proudly displayed at WCH. East Pennsboro Elementary students decorated flowerpots and presented the activity of choosing a "star word" for the new year. Finally, the district presented board members with a certificate of appreciation.
Thank you to our School Board members for all of the wonderful work you do for East Pennsboro Area School District!
