Academic and Technological Success atEastern Lancaster County School District

669 E. Main St.P.O. Box 609

Recently, the Pennsylvania Department ofEducation released the 20132014 School Performance Profile (SPP) scores. The SPP provides schools with a score ranging from0100. The score takes into consideration academic achievement, academic growth, andother factors such as attendance and gradua-tion rate. Once again, the schools in EasternLancaster County School District fared wellcompared to state and county schools.

For 20132014, Blue Ball ElementarySchool (90.9) ranked fifth and Brecknock Elementary School (88.9) ranked tenth out ofthe 75 elementary schools in LancasterCounty. Blue Ball Elementary School earnedthe eighth highest point gain (8.1) comparedto the 20122013 score among the 75 countyelementary schools. Blue Ball ElementarySchool also scored in the top 10% of allschools in Pennsylvania. Garden Spot MiddleSchool ranked sixth out of the 21 middleschools in Lancaster County.

Educators at ELANCO have already begunusing the information provided in the SPP reports to build on successes and to make curricular and instructional changes necessaryto address areas of need in order to best serveour students.

Additionally, the investment in resourcesand the extraordinary efforts made by stu-dents, faculty and families is paying dividends

for the students and the ELANCO community.A recent report demonstrates most favorableresults in our classrooms, and we are certainthat there is more good news to come.

The report highlights technology use in theDistrict. Last fall, teachers, students, and administrators participated in a survey con-ducted by BrightBytes, a national firm thatmeasures technology infiltration, appropriateuse of technology in classrooms, and the professional expertise of teachers. ELANCOmeasured far above state and national trends.As many of you know, the District provides apersonal computing device for nearly everystudent. BrightBytes survey data indicates thatthat technology is seamlessly functioning inour classrooms because teachers are betterprepared than peers in other districts. A fewkey data points include: 80% of students report using the computer daily compared tothe state average of 50%, 26% of studentsare asked to write online at least weekly com-pared to only 13% in the state, and 53% ofteachers discuss technology use at a team orgrade level meeting with colleagues at leasthalf the time compared to only a 31% stateaverage. Survey data indicates that not onlyis a great deal of technology available for student and professional use, but access to theInternet exists in every classroom and in nearlyall homes of students. Teachers and studentsare using that technology to significantly increase the breadth and depth of learning.

5ELANCO School District Gives BackThis is Anthony Oberholtzer's

(PICTURED LEFT) second year inthe Work Based Learning Program atthe high school. During his time inthe program, he has earned his drivers permit, Ready2Work Certification from Lancaster CareerLink, and he has now earneda paid position at Garden Spot Village in the Dietary Departmentafter completing a three-month unpaid internship.

When students are a part of the Grassland FFA Chapter, alarge part of what they do is giving back to the community;these are just two examples. One of the major things ELANCOschapter does each year is to hold the Whole Hog Fundraiser fora local cause that is chosen by the FFA members based uponcommunity need at that time. Last year the fundraiser bene-fited The ALS Team in honor of Mr. Ed Sprecher (FUNDRAISERPICTURED BELOW). Another thing the chapter does is to hold ateacher luncheon each year as a chance for the FFA students toshow the teachers at the high school and middle school howmuch they are appreciated. Teachers who join the FFA forlunch give a donation and then the money that is donated isgiven back to the community. This year the money was donatedto Cross Connections Ministry to purchase Christmas gifts forlocal families in need.

Because the Garden Spot High School NationalHonor Society chapter considers service as one ofthe five key pillars, they have undertaken multipleservice projects in the Garden Spot communitythis school year. Members from the organization

volunteered at Garden Spot Village's Fall Festival, the GardenSpot Zombie Color Run, the Garden Spot Homecoming football game, and the Garden Spot High School volleyballbooster's concession stand. Additionally, they assembled toiletry kits for those in the community in need, fundraised forthe ELANCO Social Services Network through a high schooldress down day, and tutored for Garden Spot freshman students.In the spirit of the holidays, they also organized the Thanksgiving-themed "Grateful Gobblegrams", a candy-gram fundraiser forthe charity In Ian's Boots, decorated the high school for theirannual holiday-themed "Deck the Halls," and organized a doordecorating contest for the high school just prior to the winterbreak.

On December 22, 2014, Miss Mary Novaks 8th Gradeclasses were visited by Audra Piefer, founder of Binding Lovescarves. The students learned about human trafficking both inAmerica and worldwide and then participated in cutting up oldclothing, which Binding Love will make into upcycled scarves.Binding Love sends half of the proceeds of every scarf to sup-port refuge houses in Thailand. The students enjoyed thehands-on, real world opportunity to do something small, butpractical, in fighting human trafficking. The students, MissNovak, and Ms. Piefer are pictured below.

New Holland Elementary School has a tremendouslygiving spirit. This year, a member of the PTO suggestedthat they offer students an opportunity to give duringthe holiday season through a Giving Tree. Studentswere asked to bring in $5.00 gift cards from specific

local businesses (i.e. Yoders, Walmart, McDonalds, Sheetz, JBZimmermans, etc) to assist local families in need. The schoolcollected 70 gift cards, and these were attached to Christmasgifts that were purchased through the Cross Connection Min-istries Christmas Project. Additionally, New Holland Elementarywill again host the Art Gala Club, (SEE PG. 8 OF NEWSLETTER)whereby the participating 2nd-6th Graders will paint twopaintings [one for their families and one for an art auction onMay 8th]. The proceeds from the Art Auction will be split between the Cross Connections Ministry SummerLunch Program and the Conner M.
