🎄 Santa's Workshop Jr.: Holiday Craftsmen in Training! 🎁
Our talented students are getting into the Holiday spirit, mastering the art of woodworking! They're learning the timeless skills of the elves, turning raw materials into magic. ✨

From shaping graceful lines to perfecting joinery, these students are gaining essential skills in:

Precision Cutting & Measuring: Ensuring every piece fits together perfectly (no wobbly reindeer!).

Sanding & Finishing: Giving their creations that smooth, professional touch.

Design & Planning: Turning a concept into a beautiful, tangible reality (just like Santa's blueprint team!).

Tool Safety & Mastery: Operating machinery like true professionals.

The wood chips are flying, and the magic is happening! We can't wait to see what amazing toys and treasures they'll craft next. Happy Holidays! 🛷#oneEA#EAMS

Students in our AP and Pre-AP Latin classes spent Wednesday, December 3rd at the Aurora Theatre for a special showing of Pompeii. Along with the film, students completed a series of guided questions to deepen their understanding of ancient Roman culture.

A huge thank you to the East Aurora Theatre for offering no-cost field trips to local schools, and to our district and First Student for making experiences like this possible.

Congratulations to our newest Cybernut Champion, Mrs. Todaro—our incredible Parkdale School Nurse! 🏆💻

Every day, she plays a vital role in keeping our students healthy and cared for, and now she’s also proving to be a champion for their digital well-being. By staying alert during our district phishing campaign, she collected the most acorns and showed just how important it is to keep an eye out for suspicious emails and online scams.

As the top performer, she now takes home the legendary Billy Bass! 🐟

Great job Mrs. Todaro! #oneEA

A massive thank you to all the faculty and staff who joined us after school in the cafeteria. We loved sharing the bounty of our farm, including one of our impressive 35-pound farm-raised turkeys and nearly a dozen amazing side dishes made from cherished family recipes.

We are so grateful for all the support that allows our agriculture program to grow and thrive. Seeing everyone enjoy the culinary works made by the Sustainable Ag class was the perfect way to say THANK YOU!
