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.

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. For more information about National Honor
Society, visithttp://blog.elanco.org/gsnhs/.
Garden Spot MiddleSchools Student Council heldtwo services
projects forQuarter 2, one local and oneglobal. Picture number one
isthe global project: Cocoa andCookies for Kiva. The clubmade hot
cocoa deliveries during 8th periods (by dona-tion). In addition,
they held abake sale. Garden Spot MiddleSchool raised over $147.00
forKIVA. The students pictured areMegan Esh, Carysse Norris

the Districts care/shareroom. Pictured are: Kelly Trego, Tori
Andrew,Sarah Shirk, and Ashley Antkowiak.
Varsity Club is made up of middle school students who
areinterested in going into the health fields or helping out
thecommunity. During the holiday season, students in this
clubvisited Garden Spot Village to bring them Christmas cheer. As
apart of that Christmas cheer, they handed out baked goodsand sang
Christmas carols. Also, in Varsity club members do-nated money for
a Christmas gift for a child in need as part ofthe Cross
Connections Ministries Christmas Project. The club ismore than
happy to be helping out those in need. At the endof the year,
students in the club will be eligible for an awardscertificate for

training.
Second grade at BrecknockElementary adopted a familywith three
children so thateach class could collect giftsfor one child.
Families gener-ously donated gifts and wrap-ping supplies so that
theadopted family could wrapthe gifts to help feel part ofthe
Christmas preparations. Gifts were provided to families inneed as
part of the Cross Connections Ministries ChristmasProject.
Students in Mrs. Wendy Twaddells and Mrs. Heather Snyders6th
Grade classes (PICTURED BELOW) adopted families throughthe Cross
Connections Ministries Christmas Project and traveledtogether to
Walmart to buy presents so that other children lessfortunate could
have a wonderful holiday season.
Art students and mem-bers of the Bible StudyClub,
Awakening(PICTURED LEFT), createdChristmas cards with beautiful
verses this year forthe residents of GardenSpot Village.
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. Holland Foun-dation that assists families with pediatric
cancer.Last year, the Art Auction earned $1,049.00.
