Mrs. Figley's 2nd-grade class has taken their learning to new heights by following a live feed of a Bald Eagle family. Today, they welcomed a visit from Dave Sess of WKBN, so be sure to check the news this evening to see more about their activities! Great job, Bulldogs!

The donations have officially arrived at the Columbiana County Humane Society—great job, EPES!
To add some perspective, the Principal's Advisory Council (PAC) had the opportunity to meet Mr. Ben-Purr, who will benefit from these donations. (P.S. He is looking for a forever home!)


As the State Testing Season approaches, we have listed all the dates on our District Calendar for your convenience. Ensuring your student gets a good night's sleep and a healthy breakfast, along with some encouraging words, can have a significant impact on their performance! https://www.myepschools.org/events
We would like to once again extend our congratulations and appreciation to Mrs. Walker. Last week, she was recognized at the Mahoning Valley Educators of the Year Honors Dinner—a well-deserved honor!

We had an absolute blast at last night's *Masked Reader* Family Engagement Night at EPES! It was so wonderful to see the strong connections between our staff and our amazing Bulldog families. Thank you for being part of the fun!
