Throughout the week, so many parents and community members have stopped in to read with our students. The kids light up every time a new guest walks through the door. Their reactions have been priceless, and the stories shared have created moments they will remember.

Thank you to everyone who has taken time out of their day to be here with our classrooms. Your kindness, your presence, and your willingness to support our readers truly mean a lot. Our students can feel how much this community cares about them.

We are excited to keep the celebration going as Read Across America week continues. πŸ“š

Mrs. Sharrow’s kindergarten class had a wonderful Read Across America Week surprise yesterday, enjoying a special Gallina family story time. The celebration got even sweeter with a delicious pizza party provided by the family’s restaurant, OIP in Elysburg. Enriching the brain and the belly was the perfect way to celebrate a love of reading! πŸ•πŸ“š

Last week, our Horticulture Agriculture class visited the elementary school to teach students about soil and its importance. High school students applied their classroom learning by creating original children’s books on the topic, which they then used to lead interactive lessons. They presented their work to Mrs. Habowski’s 2nd grade class, helping younger students engage with science in a creative and meaningful way.

We are proud of their preparation, leadership, and commitment to agricultural education.

Despite last week’s weather, our students in grades 4–7 enjoyed an incredible hands‑on learning experience with the PA Ag Lab. Through engaging science experiments and real‑world agriculture activities, students explored how agriculture connects to their everyday lives and shapes our community.

We are grateful for the high‑quality lessons, the opportunities for students to think like scientists, and the meaningful connections to Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry.

A special thank‑you goes out to our FFA student volunteers, who supported sessions throughout the week and served as outstanding role models for our younger learners.
