About us
The Ephrata Area Education Foundation funds numerous programs and grants to benefit the learning objects for all students within the Ephrata Area School District. Throughout the years, the Ephrata Area Education Foundation adopted some of the Venture Grant programs that were proven very successful. Called our Signature Programs, they include: *VEX Robotics Club (students build robots and compete against other high schools). *Coding Contest (district-wide competition to encourage coding skills for students, K-8). *Quiz Bowl Team (competitive trivia team that competes on WGAL TV's Brain Busters and against other schools). *Ephrata Early Learning (two part-time employees work with parents to help them prepare their children for school). *Corny Days (a field trip for all 6th grade students to learn about the life cycle of corn and its many uses). *STEAM DAYS (new to our fold, this popular program provides hands on science experiments once a month on half-days). *The Mounts Fund (High School's Investment Club buys into the stock market with $30,000 of real money granted from the Foundation to learn real-life investment skills and financial literacy).

This month started EAEF's STEAM Days in the Ephrata Area SD! Principal Esbenshade from Highland Elementary School put together an amazing year of STEAM days for all elementary students! We were able to join Mobile Ed Productions for Our Solar System for the first 1/2 day. The presentation closely observed the latest images of various planets, moons and dwarf planets in our solar system! Also, we time traveled to our future and our past to see various astronomical events such as various planetary transits and lunar eclipses.

Mainspring of Ephrata's Bookwalk was a success! Ephrata Area Education Foundation was happy to have sponsored the books each child received. Families had a wonderful time walking around Ephrata reading pages from "Llama Destroys the World," written and illustrated by Jonathan Stutzman and Heather Fox. Afterwards, Jonathan and Heather read the book aloud and signed books!

What a BEAUTIFUL day and event at Pawsitive Pediatric Dentistry's open house! We are thrilled for Dr. Milca and her entire team. We were also thankful for Nick Berry driving the Makers Bus over to us and for Dr. Joel Bischoff being with us for the entire event! He was able to give tours to those interested in the Makers Bus and discuss what he teaches on the bus to the students in the Ephrata Area School District.
