The "A Top Notch Elementary School In Lancaster, PA" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Driving West on E. Orange Street when I passed the Fulton Elementary School which is one of many elementary schools in the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Fulton Elementary in Lancaster City

The building is beautiful and has been sitting at the same location for over 100 years.  My father went to the same school when he was a child.  The  Principal of the building is Mr. Stephen Sohonyay and he takes great pride in his school and those who work and learn in Fulton Elementary.

Mr. Sohonyay

The school goals are as follows:  The Futon Elementary School is a diverse family of learners committed to the active engagement of every child.  Using student-driven framework, we work to unlock creativity and passion, and awaken resilient leaders to impact our global community.  Fulton is a full service community school located in the heart of Lancaster City surrounded by a safe and supportive community.  There is a dedicated staff that engages students and families in high quality life-long learning.  Our goal is to grow all students academically, socially and emotionally.  Fulton is the place to be!  Well, the school is also a beautiful place to learn.  The grounds are immaculate and along the west side of the school is an alley that has one of the most beautiful murals painted on it that you will find anywhere in Pennsylvania. The wall's paintings were donated by Harriet Sloneger and the artist of this wonderful wall is Ophelia Chambliss.  Check out what Ophelia has done next to Fulton Elementary School.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
