Mr. Logan's classes took advantage of today's beautiful weather and hit the nature trail to explore the invasive species that are taking over our backyard.

On October 9th, our middle and high school students traded their usual routines for a chance to experience interests, try something new, and just have fun!
We built with LEGO, played chess and checkers, got outside for a little football fun, played hacky sack, made bracelets, did dot art, talked about our favorite recipes and movies, played board, video, and card games, painted, created, and had FUN. All of this is part of Club Days.
Huge thanks to our teachers for sharing their interests, passions, and time to make these opportunities possible for our students!

On a summer-like day, no one wants to think about snow, but that’s exactly where some of our high school students were focusing today. ❄️
This year, Ms. Mazur’s high school art classes and art club are participating in PennDOT’s Paint the Plow competition. The yearly competition promotes safe winter driving by having schools create moving art pieces connected to a theme. This winter’s theme is “Snow Means Slow.”
In a few weeks, we will be up against schools from Beaver, Lawrence, and Allegheny counties to see whose plow has the best design. Watch this page - we’ll post the link when public voting opens.
And be on the lookout this winter as OUR plow will be used to clear roads within our school district!
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! (But maybe not until December) ❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
