Happy New Year to our Bulldog Family!
The Unlocking Potential (UP) Mentoring Program is up and running once again this year at EPMS. We are thankful for all of our volunteers who have chosen to give their time to support some of our bulldogs!
On behalf of the East Palestine School District, we wish you a joyful and memorable holiday season!
Mrs. Roberts' 5th-grade ELA classes took part in an escape room experience called "Escape from Nonsensica." They were tasked with using context clues to complete their mission and avoid being stranded in Nonsensica forever!
The 2024 EPMS Winter Pageant was truly amazing! The 8th-grade teams collectively raised $520, which directly benefits our students. Great job!
There was laughter and holiday excitement all around....and a few reindeer games!

The fire alarm within the middle school was triggered and the East Palestine Fire Department is currently investigating.
All students and staff are safely out of the building and staying dry within the EPES gymnasium. We will provide an updated post once everyone is back in the building.

Students from the Chick-fil-A Leader Academy and our Bulldog Choir participated in "Do Good December" activities. Our Bulldogs helped elementary students shop at Santa's Secret Shop and spent time entertaining and visiting residents at Covington and Christian House. We are proud of their leadership!
