Thank you to Pastor Robertson and the Me We City organization for welcoming our students into the building on Friday morning. Pastor Robertson and his group of volunteers made inspirational signs and shared encouraging words as students entered the building on Friday. It was the perfect way to start our Friday off on a positive note. We are thankful for this community partnership!

Last week, East Fallowfield Elementary School had the privilege of welcoming the Mobile Ag Ed Science Lab Program to our campus. Students in grades K-5 ahd the opportunity to engage in hands-on, STEM-based experiment, all while incorporating agricultural education while doing it. Each grade level has a different experiment which allows each student to receive a new experience every year when the AgLab visits. Thank you to our PTO for bringing this experience to our school every year! Please check out some photos of our EF Scientists below!

Mr. Polk's students have been hard at work the last few weeks. Students were charged with the responsibility of identifying a problem that they could solve through the creation of a new invention. Once created, the students then had to present their inventions to the Shark Tank judge, Mrs. Willis! She was so impressed with the presentation that she decided to fully fund all of these wonderful inventions!

This is a reminder that The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation mandates in 67 Pa. Code 171.58, that the interior of a school bus must be free of objects that could cause injury. Objects must be secured, and the aisles and emergency exits open and free of blockage. The following must be adhered to at all times:

1. Large band instruments or school projects items are not permitted on the bus unless they can be held on the pupil's lap.

2. Items may not be placed under seats, they become projectiles upon impact.

3. Nothing can be carried on the bus that will endanger others, i.e. glass objects, hockey sticks, lacrosse sticks, skis, skateboards, large metal objects, etc.

4. Animals are not permitted on the bus.

5. Nothing can be placed in the driver's compartment, doorway or aisle. In case of an accident, students must be able to exit out of the windows and door without obstruction.n

My name is Mrs. Joann Billman, I am the STEM teacher and will be the Science Fair Coordinator for East Fallowfield. I am here with a special announcement! The 2023-2024 Science Fair is getting ready to begin! It is exciting to watch our students learn and grow as they present a project of their own design! East Fallowfield will hold the Science Fair on January 10, 2024!

Science Fair (3-5)

All students (3-5 grades) are invited to complete an independent/at-home science fair project to be entered in the EF Elementary Science Fair. Students can work by themselves or in a team of up to three students from the same grade level. Each student or group will make a tri-fold poster showing their project.
