The 167th annual Bloomsburg Fair is in full swing and has everyone filled with excitement. The Elementary, Middle, and High School students are all eager for their time off to enjoy the fair. Students will have Thursday, September 29th, and Friday, September 30th, off of school. Teachers will have an In-Service day on Thursday.


On Friday, September 23, a small team of students accompanied Mr. Roth and Mr. Kelchner to the Bloomsburg Fair where they spent the day setting up the middle school science exhibit in the education building. The students included eighth-graders Johanna Jones, Leah Fenstermacher, Reggie Moody, and Cayden Noblit, along with Mr. Roth's senior co-op student, Maggie Stauder. The display shows off some of the excellent work done by middle school science students last year. Although this was the first year that the middle school took over the booth from the high school, it turned out great!

A big thank you to Mr. Roth and Mr. Kelchner for taking a couple middle school students and setting up the middle school science booth at the Bloomsburg Fair.
