Fire Prevention Days
East Pennsboro Elementary and West Creek Hills held their Fire Prevention Days this week! Our local firefighters volunteered their time to come to our schools, and our students had an opportunity to hear about fire safety, learn about firefighters' uniforms, and explore fire engines and trucks.
One of the most special aspects of these events is that so many of the firefighters who participate are East Pennsboro graduates. Between the 2 days, we had 7 firefighters who are East Pennsboro graduates, and 2 firefighters who are East Pennsboro students. We are Panther Proud of our wonderful community that works with our students! Thank you to the following:

Coffee Friday
Our High School Life Skills students held their first Coffee Friday of the 2024-2025 school year this morning! Coffee Friday helps our students learn important skills while engaging with students and teachers throughout the high school. Thank you to our Life Skills teacher Alexis King for making this possible!
Middle School Life Skills
On October 4th, the Middle School Life Skills class went to Giant. They learned about the store's layout by completing Goose Chase missions. This activity challenged them to find different items in the store and incorporated phonics skills (such as finding items that rhyme or start with a certain letter). Students also got to try self-checkout and practice money skills. Thank you to our fantastic Middle School staff members for a great first trip of the 2024-2025 school year!
