Check out this cool EHS Interact Club fundraiser!
Pretty cool moment for Elmira!
Dylan Cardwell, 🏀 NBA player with the Sacramento Kings and husband of Elmira native Zaria Shazer Demember, was spotted walking into an NBA game wearing an Express hoodie — representing Elmira on a big stage.
Seeing Elmira repped like that? That’s something special.
Once Express… always Express.🚂

The Elmira City School District calendar for the 2026-27 school year was approved at last night’s board meeting. Here is a link to the calendar: 2026-2027 Elmira City School District Calendar
Last week, 8th grade student, Cal from Ernie Davis Academy, sprang into action when a classmate began choking on a piece of ice from their drinking water. Thanks to Cal’s calm response and use of the Heimlich maneuver, that student is doing great! 🙌
Cal says he remembered seeing this life‑saving skill performed by a coach at a basketball game last year — and because he stayed calm and confident, a scary moment had a successful ending.
This is exactly what our “Be Like Ernie” values are all about at Ernie Davis Academy— living with courage, care for others, and leadership in the moment, just like the legacy of Ernie Davis inspires our school community to do every day. Huge thanks to the coaches and teachers who teach important skills and model these values — you never know when a lesson could help save a life. ❤️
Here’s Cal being recognized by his principal for his quick thinking and big heart! 👏📸 #GoExpress

Today our students at Parley Coburn experienced something truly unforgettable!
Award-winning PUSH Physical Theatre visited our school, bringing their signature blend of intense athleticism, gravity-defying acrobatics, and soulful artistry to the stage. Students were amazed as performers told powerful stories using only movement, strength, and creativity.
The experience didn’t end with the performance. Our 4th graders had the opportunity to step into the world of physical theatre themselves during hands-on workshops with the artists. They explored movement, teamwork, and storytelling in a completely new way.
Moments like this show students that art can be powerful, expressive, and active all at once. Huge thanks to GST BOCES and PUSH for bringing this incredible experience to our school! #GoExpress

From magic and comedy to reading, laughter, and learning, this incredible show had our Pre-K–2 students fully engaged while celebrating the joy and power of literacy. Kids helped “Loopy” navigate tricky words and high-frequency text—proving that reading isn’t just important… it’s FUN!
