East Aurora Union Free School District

📚✨ A magical moment at Parkdale Elementary! ✨📚 Mr. Duff, our amazing librarian, recently shared the story of The Magical Yet with a first-grade class, encouraging them to embrace challenges with the belief that growth is always within reach. But what makes Mr. Duff truly special isn’t just the stories he tells—it’s his unwavering dedication to every student. From the recent success of our Book Fair to the innovative Book Vending Machine program that rewards positive behavior with coins for books, Mr. Duff continues to go above and beyond to inspire and motivate our young readers. We’re so lucky to have a librarian who pours so much heart into making learning fun and meaningful for our students! 🙌 #ParkdalePride #ReadingIsMagic #LibraryLove #GoodBehaviorRewards #ThankYouMrDuff #bookvending #oneEA

🍞👩‍🍳 Bake For Good! 👨‍🍳🍞 Our Middle School students rolled up their sleeves and got to work with King Arthur Baking Company’s "Bake For Good" program—learning how to bake from scratch and sharing the love (and carbs!) with their families. The result? Dozens of warm, homemade rolls and even warmer hearts. 💛 Great job to Mrs. Parker and all our amazing MS students for rising to the occasion! 🥖👏 #BakeForGood #MiddleSchoolMoments #CommunityInTheKitchen#oneEA

This week @EAMS, Technology students used the Engineering Design Process to research, design, test and evaluate mousetrap cars!

Awesome work! 👀 Learn more about EAMS Tech @ https://sites.google.com/eak12.org/eamstech/home

Spring has arrived at the sustainable agriculture lab. Yesterday morning, 100 chicks arrived at the ag lab. These chicks will be taken care of until late May when they will be processed by the class to sell for our spring chicken sale. Our new Troy Bilt roto tiller is being put to use! This new addition to our farm was a gift from EA resident, Tom Hagner. Operating the tiller for the first time, is his granddaughter, a member of our Sustainable Agriculture Class. #oneEA

Our Farm 2 School taste test took place yesterday at the High School. Perry Schmidt, our new company dietitian, stopped out and helped set everything up. Today's recipe was Potatoes O'Brien, featuring NYS baby red potatoes, NYS bell peppers, and NYS red onion. We served about 180 samples, and had a lot of positive feedback from the students and faculty. We will be featuring the Potatoes O'Brien as a side dish for next week's "Breakfast for Lunch" day, where we will also be featuring locally made NYS Maple Syrup. Thanks again to Mr. Roberts for helping with this and gathering feedback from students during the lunch periods!

Earth acts as a giant magnet with magnetic poles and a magnetic field over which it exerts magnetic force. In their “Earth’s Interior” lesson, EAMS students model the earth’s magnetic properties by using iron filings to observe the 2 and 3- D field lines around a magnet.
