Congratulations to Mrs. Randolph for being selected as the Ohio Lottery Teacher of the Month and Cole Randolph for being selected as the Ohio Lottery Academic All Star of the month for October.

Scavenger Hunt! Spanish 1 students roamed the hall reading about famous Spanish-speaking people. They used a list of clues to find information about authors, artists, politicians, singers, athletes, scientists, actors, and activists.

We have finally finished the school courtyard project and would like to thank all of those that helped make it possible! Donations for the courtyard came from the following: sixty landscaping blocks from R.I. Lampus via Town n Country, LLC, 4 tons of gravel from Town n Country, LLC, and plants from Parks Garden Center along with additional donations from Mrs. Fink and Mrs. Best. Also, Mr. Eggleston helped create the rain barrels, Mrs. Cienik made and donated the boxes for the trees and fill soil, Snyder's Orchard donated apple trees, and the Bulldog Cafe helped with the gravel and donated picnic tables. Many hours were devoted to cleaning, weeding, preparing, planting, and finishing the courtyard by the EPMS Science Club, café crew, and teaching staff (Best, Fink, Wertz, Randolph, Miller, and Hacker). Thank you!

Today, 5th graders in Science class are playing "Oh Deer", a game that simulates deer in the wild and how they are affected by limiting factors such as food, water and space.

5th Graders are learning the importance of organizing their class materials and the progression of standards in Math class.
